Other than classics, I’ve read mostly fantasy (my top picks still being LOTR, Patricia McKillip, and Terry Pratchett), although I’ve also read many of the pivotal science fiction works such as Foundation, Hitchhiker’s Guide, Dune, and Stranger in a Strange Land.
I like history enough that I’ll read it straight, especially biographies, and I enjoy historical fiction, although I like historical fantasy even better. I tend to shy away from too much explicit sex, and I don’t read erotica at all. I’m not a good choice to review a book that’s actively hostile to any major religion or treats women as objects a la Bond. I won’t read anything that whitewashes rape or abuse.
The good news is that I won’t post a negative review, so you have nothing to lose by asking me. I just won’t finish the book. Life is too short to read books I don’t like.
However, I’m not currently taking requests for reviews unless we’ve already connected through blogging or Absolute Write.

It looks like we share tastes in books, Cathleen. Lots of great authors there, and of course Tolkien is my favorite, too 🙂

Sorry these two comments slipped under my radar. I haven’t checked this page in a while. Book reviews are something I need to do more often. 🙂

Have you ever tried any of Andrew Taylor’s historical mysteries? I like some of his books more than others, but he’s a very good writer.

Eek! I need to check this page more often. No, I haven’t tried Andrew Taylor, but I like historical mysteries generally, so I’ll check into his work. 🙂

Yes, although I’m booked for the next month, and I’m mostly sticking to fantasy these days. I read your short story, so if you have something like that, it’s a possibility. 🙂
