This sounds like a very scientific approach to something that's not a science. :-) In any case, Wikipedia's article on Genre Fiction is probably as good a place to start as any. From there, you can click on links for more detailed analyses of genres that look interesting to you. That said, you're not actually going to be able to effectively mix genres until you've read a bit (or a lot) from each one. It may take a lot of time, but, hey - nothing good in life ever comes easy. :-) Good writing takes years to develop, which also means years of reading. It may take time, but so does mastering any other trade. Get ready to put in your 2,000 hours - because that's what it'll take!
