Adventure: a master of adventure is undoubtedly Emilio Salgari. Don't think it's old-fashioned, because it doesn't matter to understanding the genre. His stories are well crafted and, even if dated, help solidify the cultural layer of the writer. There is another great author to read, Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of the famous Tarzan. And Kenneth Roberts of Northwest Passage. Among the moderns we can mention Wilbur Smith and Michael Crichton, even if I don't like them. Yellow: the first name that comes to mind is Agatha Christie. And among our locals certainly Andrea Camilleri. Conan Doyle is also worth reading, with all the stories about Sherlock Holmes, even if to tell the truth they are more detective stories than detective stories.

A curious author to read is J.F. Englert, who writes Phone Number Data mysteries solved by a dog. Then there is the Scandinavian detective story, which has produced valuable works. Science fiction: for me, linked to a specific type of science fiction, this genre is synonymous with Isaac Asimov. But there are many writers to read, each different from the other, such as Burroughs himself, Frank Herbert (the Dune saga), Ron Hubbard (< /span>), Harry Harrison, Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury, Anne McCaffrey, Philip K. Dick, Richard Matheson, each with their own world to discover .Battle for Earth Fantasy: fantasy is Tolkien but not only that. There are so many writers, I have read Terry Brooks, Walter Moers, Ursula K. Le Guin, George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), J.K.



Rowling, Michael Ende (The Neverending Story), C.S. Lewis (the Narnia cycle), David Eddings, author of numerous sagas, Philip Pullman (His Dark Materials), Marion Zimmer Bradley, with many published novels . Among the Italian authors who have given a good contribution to our own fantasy, Riccardo Coltri (Zeferina) and Giovanni De Feo () are worth reading. The Name Eater). Horror: is horror only Stephen King? He's certainly a master of the genre, but so is our Danilo Arona, if you really want some scary reading. Horror classics are a must read, like H.P. Lovecraft and William H. Hodgson. Among the moderns is Joe R. Lansdale.
