Seniors’ reading tastes clearly defined

Anonymous Patron writes Texarkana Gazette: The books chosen by the 50 and older crowd of readers reflect Warner’s thoughts on reading. Top choice genres for these folks include modern romance, biographies, westerns and mysteries, Haggard said. Series titles that are popular include the Mitford series, humorous and clean stories about an Episcopal priest by Jan Karon; the Ms. Julia series, adventures of an elderly widowed woman by Ann Ross; and even Harry Potter, the magical series by J.K. Rowling.

Authors and types of literature that are less popular with the older adults are books about paranormal romance and vampires by authors such as Dean Koontz and Stephen King.”
