Question: Which fiction “genre” is like pulling teeth to get you to read?
And, did you find a book in that genre that you ended up really enjoying?
Answer:
Answer by the_lipsiot
Courtroom “thrillers”……….can’t get on with them.
I find them boring and formulaic, and I don’t enjoy the films either.
I’ve tried John Grisham, as everyone says he is the best in the field, but I don’t like his either.
Question: What type of genre is this?
I’m working on classifying some books for my classroom. Each book will be labeled with a label that reads “Fiction” or “Non-Fiction” and then underneath of that i am writing more specific titles of genre. For example, one of the books is about a girl who lives in colonial times. Therefore, the label says “Fiction” and underneath I have “Historical Fiction”.
The book I’m currently making a label for a book that is just a girl’s diary entries about moving to the city. It is fiction, but i’m looking for the specific category to put underneath.
thanks for your input.

Question: When a literary agent says: “I take literary fiction and genre fiction.” Does science fiction fit into those?
I’m trying to get my finished novel published, and to do this I am trying to find an agent. But every time I look at an agents expectations, it doesn’t say science fiction, it says literary/genre fiction or the like. Is this because all the agents I’m looking at don’t like science fiction, or does science fiction fit into these categories?
Answer:
Answer by Steve
Well, science fiction is considered a genre, AFAIK, so I’d say the agent should consider it. But if you can find someone who specifically says they take science fiction, query him in preference to someone who just says “genre fiction”.
