This week's question:
What's the ONE genre that you wish you could get into, but just can't?

Tough one this week. Although it might seem like I only read YA here on the blog, I do read other genres from time to time and I have only been reading YA for about a year (after Twilight opened my eyes to a whole new world of fiction that I previously though I was too old for). 

The one genre, which really isn't my cup of tea is poetry. I might appreciate a poem here and there sure, but whole poetry anthologies, not really. When I studied English at the university and took English literature, "Turner" by David Dabydeen was a compulsory read. For those of you who don't know it, it's a long narrative poem inspired by J.M.W. Turner's painting The Slave Ship, which in turn was inspired by, among other things, the mass-killing of African slaves known as the Zong Massacre. The poem was just a drag for me, but when I late looked up the history of the Zong that really gripped me. Without the poem I'd probably never learned about the Zong at all, so it was a good thing that we read it.

Update: I now see that I'm a week too late with this answer (you miss a lot when you're abroad), but I'll let is stay here anyway.
