I love to read and will read just about anything. I love true crime, suspense, horror, mystery, and will sometimes read "chick lit" and romance novels. I am not a big fan of sci-fi, however. If I truly enjoy a book, I don't mind reading it over and over. I love getting lost in a good book. When a person tells me they don't enjoy reading, I can't help but shake my head and think to myself how much they're missing.
I'm still building my shelf; it's impossible to remember all the books I've read, but as I browse other shelves here I'll see one that I remember reading ages ago and say to myself, "Hey, I remember reading that!"
One of my favorite books of all time is "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. I've lost track of how many times I've read that book. One of my favorite authors is Chuck Palahniuk. His books are simply amazing and I can (and have) read them over and over. Two other books that I find wonderful are "Peachtree Road" by Anne Rivers Siddons and "The Thorn Birds" by Colleen McCullough. Another excellent read is "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett.
You most likely will not find books from my childhood on my shelf such as Dr. Seuss, Beverly Clearly (Ramona Quimby), Amelia Bedelia books, Cam Jansen books, etc. I think it's a given that most kids read those books, so I see no reason to list them.
