What's your favorite trope (situation) in a story? Vampires? Werewolves? Castles and Dragons? What is one thing that will make you pick up a book and give it a try?

Tragedy.

I'm a big fan of an underdog story. People who shouldn't succeed in doing something, but manage to do it, anyway. 

"Tales of Epic Heroism and good vs evil" probably (for the simplest/shortest answer)

 

It might also be boiled down to 'farm/country/bumpkins being tossed into unplanned adventures with (or without) destinies they never knew about.' 

 

I read a wide variety of things, but that seems to be a common theme. *chuckles* 

High Fantasy

love, magic, adventure

Anything fantasy!

Post-apoc

Dystopia

quest stories

The Inexplicable, the extra-dimensional

Threats combining the nastiness of the new and old together at last (see Snow Crash)

 

Umm. It's late.

I think neeto's answers are perfect for me, love/romance mixed with magic and adventure and def underdog stories =)) and anything fantasy (dwarves, elves, specialty races)
