Question

There are many different genres of fiction, each with its own distinct characteristics. Examples of genres include detective fiction, science fiction, historical fiction, fairy tales, fables, horror, mystery, and humor. What genre of fiction do you most enjoy reading? Give some examples of literary works that you like from that genre, and explain why it is your favorite genre. Also discuss what you dislike about the genre, if anything.

Answer 1

For me, personally, the genre I enjoy most and which is by far my favorite genre is fantasy. The works in this genre are The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin, The Dark Tower by Stephen King, etc. What I like about this genre, apart from all the fantastic creatures and magic, is definitely the heroism and strength of many characters, who go through many perils throughout their quest. And of course, there are dragons. :)
There are some downsides to it, of course. If you don't like unrealistic situations, this is definitely not for you. Characters may often be portrayed as either good or bad, and you know that in the end, good always wins, which is not always the most interesting ending. 

Answer 2

Name your favorite genre of fiction—science fiction, for example.

Mention some literary works in that genre that you've read and enjoyed. For example, Foundation by Isaac Asimov and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams are famous science fiction books.

Describe what you like about your favorite genre of fiction, including some of its characteristics. For example, science fiction takes you away from reality and into a futuristic realm with cool gadgets and vehicles. People sometimes even travel through time and space in science fiction stories.

Mention something you dislike about your preferred genre. For example, the writing in science fiction may sometimes seem unemotional and dry, and some descriptions are so detailed and specific that the story becomes hard to read.
