Favourite: bildungsroman (coming of age story)

Least: thriller

Everything else is inbetween. Sci-fi, fantasy, chick lit, postmodern, literary fiction, etc. What about other people?

Fabulous, what are you talking about? Bildungsroman is an English borrowed word from German.

why wouldn't you just say coming of age story

Yea, this girl aught to be a pleasure to speak with. I'm actually reading Der Zauberberg in English right now, by Mann. My favourite genre has to be modernism, my least would be Victorian. Postmodernism follows modernism, the short story following poetry which follows modernism.

Bildungsroman is after modernism, and after bildungsroman is closet dramas. Then short stories, then Victorian.

I'm not gonna list them, I'll just tell you the ones I enjoyed a lot. Franny and Zooey, Nine Stories, Oryx and Cake, The Robber Bride, The Blind Assassin and Daughter of Fortune. All good ones. I'm not reading the genre (?) much at the moment though, mostly literary fiction, if that's still a genre or not.

I think that 2666 has a bildungsroman as its fifth and final book featuring Hans Reiter (who I think is a pastiche character to Hans Castorp in the Magic Mountain). You gave me some new bildungsromans to read, I hope I've done the same. Cheers.
