My first thought is third person. I'll have to make note with each book I read and see if my first thought holds true. I’m an avid reader but I haven’t really thought about which I prefer.

I even like an omnicient voice that hints of the upcoming plot points because the voice already knows what's happened - rather like Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. I prefer third person.

Except it wasn't. Really weird. No preference over here, but I did just give up reading a book that I kept expecting to be in first person. Except it wasn’t.

I've also read the first book in the Twilight series. Cass - I tend to read a lot of mysteries and many of them are first person. I think it's because the lead character is usually so invested in solving the mystery and we really want to know what they are thinking. Christina - I've been reading more YA this year too, although the last one I read was third - Zombie Queen of Newbury High. I don’t know how I forgot about the Harry Potter books to add to my list.
