I seldom watch TV or Movies. I read whatever's free.

What books and/or movies are on your list to read/watch this year? What are your “go to” genres?

The first part is easy! Nothing. I don't have TV at home. I don't enjoy going to the movies. I'll watch something on the planes when I fly. Maybe catch something on the internet if I remember. Books? Whatever's available when I'm home because I don't take any with me when I travel.

The second part:

I like light reading. YA is fine (because it's usually well written). I prefer sci-fi, fantasy, mysteries. Anything that takes me somewhere else.

I no longer make time for tedious series of 1,000 page tomes. I read slow; I hear what I read. I've read romances and westerns but they aren't my preference.

I should read a biography... but not my style. Self-help? Not likely.

I do read poetry.

Mostly, it could be said that I don't read books for information. I use the internet for that. I read news and blogs and opinion pieces.

I also don't read to critique. I'm no literature major trying to dissect a dead novel. I seek connection in the real world not arguments over grammar. I'm more of a linguist, noting what IS, not what someone says it should be.

Plus, I create literature. I'm an artist, not a scholar.

The list for this prompt is blank.
