And one currently very hot genre is Historical Fiction. This is the genre where fiction books are written loosely based on real events and people from the past. A couple of good examples of this are Gates of Fire(The Battle of Thermopylae) and Cold Mountain (The Civil War) Check out the Historical Fiction section of books at Amazon.com 
Fairy Tales? This is of course another vibrant area of literature that has thrived since the beginning of story-telling. Amazon.com has a wonderful selection of books both of Fairy Tales and analysis and understanding of them and how they relate to us as humans. 
This is the main area of reading when it comes to Medieval things. Who can resist a good tale set in a far off fantasy world. The lord of the Rings is a good example of this and currently the #1 book on this fantasy list is the new Tolkien work "Children of Hurin" 
This is my favorite sub genre of fantasy and it is a very vibrant area with lots of interesting books loosely based on the legend of King Arthur. One of the most famous books in this realm is "The Mists of Avalon" written by Marion Zimmer Bradley and it is a re-telling of the Arthurian legend from a womans point of view.
