Curious if there are other male readers on here. What’s your favorite genre and why?

Also male and my favorites are fantasy, romance, and mystery/thriller. I have ADHD and these genres tend to give me the most serotonin and can keep my attention more

I’m a huge sci fi and fantasy guy. My favorite book series is Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

Classics. I’ve never really found anything else that has intrigued me so much.

If you had to pick a favorite book from each genre, what would they be? I’m a romance or mystery/thriller guy so I’m always looking for recommendations

Fantasy: An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir (four book series) and of course The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski (seven book series) Romance: Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo (standalone) I’m just getting into mystery/thriller so I don’t necessarily have a fav yet, but I really liked Vicious by V. E. Schwab. It combines thriller with some sci-fi/fantasy aspects. It was sorta my bridge between fantasy and thriller

Never heard of most of them. I’ve read a V. E. Schwab book and did it enjoy it so maybe I’ll have to add Vicious to my list

Your college’s library I’m guessing? I usually get mine from the county library or my local bookstore instead. Both have mlm books for me. But I also live in a very leftist/blue city

I don’t necessarily like supporting Amazon but an option you could do is to read ebooks on kindle. You can also use the Libby app to read ebooks through your library. That way you could get more access without walking
