Of course the question is impossible to answer the way it's worded because this is a very subjective topic. A discussion about what book genre IS the most interesting could take many hours and lead nowhere, so of course I can only answer what book genre I personally find the most interesting.
Generally fantasy has the potential to be the most interesting. The problem is that much of modern fantasy is rather shallow and all the same. There are of course still many exceptions from that, but you have to search for them.
Also: possibly an uncommon opinion, but semi-humoristic children's novels. These are the most entertaining to read, to be honest. With that I mean actual children's novels, not young adult novels. (Actually, young adult novels are usually some of the worst books for me.)
Which genre of books is the most interesting?

Re: Which genre of books is the most interesting?
I am 100% a fiction stan, be it old-fashioned magic and swords, or hyperdrives and blasters out there in space. I've recently finished collecting the last few of Tolkien's works that I hadn't read yet (and oh BOY am I excited!), and I've always adored Ender's Game (it was one of my first sci-fi novels ever). That being said, I've really come to love Historical Fiction in the last few years.

Re: Which genre of books is the most interesting?
Uh.... that is a bit hard for me to decide as I really love a lot of genree types and thend to write also in many of them... though to be honest I never could get into those adventure type stories which involve the wild west which my father likes.
Fantasy is able to bring you into different worlds togehter with sci-fi, but with different, rarely intercrossing perspectives. If the auther is good like Tolkien the world they build becomes just as much of a reality as is the one we live in.
Mistery/Detective, it is one of the earliest genrees I have read so it it pretty close to me. I was actually happy when during an Antiquarium shopping trip I fond "A century of detective stories", it is pretty old and a bit damaged so I treat it carefully, but still a great book. I love the classics from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Poe's mysteries and even a bit more modern ones writen by Umberto Echo. Got his "The Name of the Rose" also from the same place as the above mentioned book incredibly cheat due to the cover being a bit damaged.
I also got a bit back into my Lovecraft and his cosmic horrors and will probably also read some stories from his fellow authors with whom he was close with, I especially like "The Hounds of Thindalos" and "The Bells of Horror" from which the later would make one great film.

But the snow is blood stained,
You are the God of Death,
The Angel turns in to a Demon.
I love you even if your claws drip from blood,
Your smile is the one of a Demon on the face of an Angel
It is true...
Beauty is the Mask of Death...

Re: Which genre of books is the most interesting?
I quite find fantasy to be more interesting as the writer can put you in a world from their imagination
I also fancy action/adventure

Speculative fiction for me. Sci-fi, fantasy, alternate history, all that stuff. Not horror though. I don't want my entertainment to give me a panic attack.
