Paula Hawkins: By the Book - The New York Times

What genres do you especially enjoy reading? And which do you avoid? I love a clever psychological thriller, although I tend to avoid crime novels and thrillers altogether while I'm writing. I'm partial to a good war story, too, although I do find myself primarily interested in the 20th-century ones - Pat Barker's "Ghost Road" and "Life Class" trilogies are amongst my favorite books. I have (shamefully) never read any sci-fi, and I tend to avoid horror because I'm a wimp.
