What is the noun of 'like'

Hello everyone,

I would like to know both the formal and informal noun of the verb 'like', Is 'likeness' often used? how about 'fondness'. Could I say 'I have a fondness for reading/writing' in self-introduction?

I posted once, but I don't know where it goes.
Thank you

"Likeness" is a word, but it means something entirely different -- it means "resemblance," as in "this portrait bears a very strong likeness to the king."

The word "liking" is seen occasionally, but it's not very common.and sound rather stilted. ("He has a great liking for sweets.")

Duh! I didn't even think of that! How odd that we use it in the plural but not the singular.
