Favorite books

I feel like I enjoy many different types of book, but I definitely have two genres that are my favorite. First, I like suspense/mystery novels the best. There is nothing that makes me want to keep reading and actually turn the next page more than a good mystery. Mysteries are appealing to me because they hook you in. They present their characters and a situation, but you never know how accurate the initial portrayals are. You never know if how that character is first introduced and how you first see him act, if that is really who he is or is he a killer or something else. You never know about certain settings in a mystery because the author may be trying to hide something from you at first, or the author might be sneaking some little detail about the setting or character and you have to figure it out. I guess that is why I like mysteries the most is because everything usually is not how it seems and/or you have to solve a problem. There is always some uncertainty about whether or not the protagonist is going to come out on top and defeat the killer or solve the mystery.
My second favorite type of literature is political literature. It can non-fiction or comical, either way I enjoy reading it. I am a political science major and enjoy almost anything pertaining to politics. I think reading about famous politicians and how they handled things is very interesting and can be helpful to anyone. I think it is important to understand how our government works and what is going on in government on a day to day basis.
