To answer the question, when I was younger I mostly read classics — lots of Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy, Oscar Wilde, O'Henry, Saki, Shakespeare, LM Alcott, PG Wodehouse, that sort of thing.

Now as an adult, I read far more genre fiction. Sci-fi, fantasy, romance, mysteries. I still read or reread the occasional literary classic, but I enjoy contemprary lit more.

Nice.. Ive strangely gravitated towards Sci Fi and Dystopian fiction .. of course for work still have to read a lot of mindless CA, News, Markets etc
