I used to be into the Fantasy genre of literature, but that was way back in like 5th and 6th grade (I read the first two books of Melanie Rawn's Exiles trilogy and still have fond memories from both, and yes I did read all thousand pages of each).
However, since I've grown up more I seem to prefer older, more classical literature. Not ancient, but like nineteenth century and early twentieth century novels. My favorite authors so far are Goethe, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald.
I still manage to read a graphic novel (Watchmen!), western lit novel (Border Trilogy!) or detective novel (LA Confidential!) in every once in a while, but those are usually the best of their genres. Going to a private high school has jaded me considerably against modern literature.
I also read some poetry or try to at least once in a while. I usually just end up reading Chuck Bukowski though, definitely my favorite poet.
