The best books are usually the ones that none of your friends have read yet. When everybody is reading something, even people who don't usually read, it tells you something. People who don''t read often will usually enjoy almost any book because that's just it, they hardly read. When they do read, they read what's popular at that time. They just don't see how bad it is because they've never read anything better.
When it comes to my taste in books, I'm a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. That's honestly the best series I've ever read. I like a good mystery. Other than that, I mostly read manga. Although I will pick up a good book from time to time.
Ditto. I intentionally avoid any "popular" books, since frequently they simply are trying to sell a book rather than tell a story.
