Okay maybe I'm not doing this one, the only genre fiction I like is crime, and not into memoirs either. My reading of graphic novels of prize winners may take me past something I could fit into some of these, but we'll see.
Well I did it -ish. All the genre fiction besides crime is accidental and questionable, but there it is!

My whys are just because I'm not into genre fiction apart from crime - but I'll wiggle with my graphic novels etc and see if some of it fits. Because as you say it is just for fun - so I'm not reading anything I don't enjoy for the sake of it :)
