What holds your attention more? A great suspense story or a romantic novel?
Do you read Stephen King books?
Definitely suspense! I have read everything by Stephen King. He is a fantastic storyteller. I have tried to read romance, but have a very hard time with it.
Reading takes you imagination on an adventure like nothing you've ever experienced before. read more
It has to be suspense. I have to keep reading until whatever is going on is resolved. Sometimes I've been so hooked that I've jumped to the end of the book to see what happened, then go back a read what I skipped over! This is a really dumb thing to do, so I try to be patient.
Even being a female, I find romantic novels an absolute bore.
I agree with you to some extent on the romantic novels. I can read some novels on romance that will hold my attention, but I also prefer suspense stories too. They are just more compelling and interesting to me. Sometimes I am impatient as well and occasionally I will skim over pages or go to the back of the book so I can find out what the ending is. Thank you for your opinion!
