Primarily a nonfiction reader/collector with a dash of poetry or short story anthologies. Fiction typically is speculative fiction, some variation of sci-fi, dark fantasy, occult detective fiction, cosmic and psychological or domestic horror.
For non-fiction, I seek books in philosophy, sociology or social theory, the life sciences, religious studies, media studies, ethnic or area studies, gender & sexuality studies, and reference or study books for technical subjects like formal logic, mathematics, computer science and mechanics.
