Guess that means I actually have a life!

Of course, it's very subjective, as no two people have the same tastes in movies anymore than they do books or art. I don't care for horror films and am not very found of science fiction, prefering instead romantic comedy, drama, sometimes a really good action flick or psychological thriller.

Same with books. I read mostly romantic suspense and mystery, but will sometimes pick up a good nonfiction or classic I've been wanting to read.

Books or movies, it all depends on the mood.
