We asked, and you answered! What is your favorite genre for summer reading?

Here is what you told us!

Drama: 12.9 %
Historical Non-Fiction: 8.1 %
Suspense: 16.1 %
Chick Lit: 14.5 %

And the winner by a landslide!
Other: 48.4 %
 
Based on the earlier blog post featuring the Studio editors' books of the season, we're guessing lots of you are reading "Game of Thrones." Are we right?

Let us know!

Haha, "Other." Probably should have included more genres in that poll! I'm finishing up the Harry Potter series in time for the movie, after which I'll try some snootier stuff: Chaucer, Dos Passos and Nabokov. :D I read A Game of Thrones a couple years ago, but I've still got to do A Feast for Crows . . . and now the newly-released A Dance With Dragons!

I'm reading both non-fiction and fiction. I'm reading Guiliani's book, Leadership, and Stockett's book The Help. The latter came recommended and since I was going out of town, I bought it. It's funny but perfect strangers will tell me they've read it or are going to read it and will give me the complete run-down about the movie coming out in August and the Hollywood buz. Carrying this book around is almost like having a newborn, "Awwww, you're reading that book. It's so good. How far are you into it?"

This calls for a redo. Why not include other types of non-fiction, lots of other genres so there are a dozen or more choices and let us pick as many as we are currently reading up to a certain number? Then, recalculate. The results would be very interesting.
