Genre
This is sort of a meme (well, in the pedantic sense, obviously it's a meme, but setting that aside). Lots of people have been talking about converting people to a new reading genre. The first example I saw was chez
misia; she got over 300 comments but then she has a huge friends list. Other relevant bits:
rho requests out-of-genre recs;
shreena asks why people read SF/F. There's a relevant Making Light post too but it's from ages ago, and I have it bookmarked at work not here and I'm never going to find it in the archives by looking for 'book' or 'science fiction'!
So my take on it is this:

Today is the 46th day, making 6 complete weeks and 4 days of the Omer.
So my take on it is this:
- Do you have a preferred genre?
- If so, why? What's good about it?
- If you don't care for genre distinctions, why not?
- If you wanted to convert someone who doesn't read your genre, which titles would you recommend?
- Why did you make those choices?
