I completely agree.

I detest being afraid so I stay clear of horror in book and movie form. Besides, a lot of movies now a days lean towards disgusting rather than frightening, like Final Destination. (Why did I let my sister talk me into watching it?!)

I think I am abnormal. I guess it would depend on the type of mystery. Crime mysteries are not my thing. Which is weird because I love the TV show CSI.gali wrote:Really? I love mysteries.ALynnPowers wrote:I tend to stay away from mysteries. Or books that I would consider "old man books"
