books

What are some things that always make shows/books/movies great? What attracts you to new shows? Whether certain character types, or plots, or maybe certain writing or filming, what makes your favorite media good to you?

What are your favorite book genres? I personally like fiction best, fantasy, ghost mysteries, and books with lots of emotion in it. Also books where at least one character dies in it. (It makes the book WAY more attached to you once someone you like dies in it, and that makes a REALLY good book)...

I'm not overly fond of the horror genre. It's rather disappointing really. I'm not bragging or anything but it takes a lot to scare me... in fiction anyway. I don't know if it's just harder for me to suspend my disbelief for horror fiction to affect me or if I'm just wise to the horror genre's...

When going to my local 'nerd' store I always see different Zelda books in the manga section. I know it probably depends on what game is my favourite but what manga would you suggest for a newbie? Do they all just go over the events of their respective game? Are there any series that don't focus...
