Please exclude books that you've been required to read for things such as school/college/work, if you didn't really enjoy those books. I read more non-fiction books, mostly about science or serial killers. When I do read a fiction book, it is usually about science fiction or horror.
I read mostly literary fiction although I do have a few non-fiction (history and travel writing) books on my to read list.
Fiction is all I read unless required by school. If I want to learn I'll look online or watch a documentary.
Looking at what I've read this year I figured I was a little more balanced but darn it! for every 1 non-fiction book I read, I read 2 fiction. I like both but it seems I "prefer" one over the other. Frack.
With books I much prefer fiction. Nothing wrong with a good academic journal every once in a while though.
I really like Sci-Fi. Although, being real or non-real isn't important to me. As long as it's a good story.
I've enjoyed non-fiction books -- the biographical type, or historical, or earlier this year some books on LGBT history --, but I read more fiction by far. Ever since I was little. I doubt I'll ever stop.
Vastly prefer fiction. Being introverted and having a strong imagination makes fiction perfect for me. ---------- Post added 6th Sep 2015 at 10:44 PM ---------- ^this^
Slightly leaning toward non-fiction. I do love fiction. But I read a lot of biology and that kind of stuff, and random wiki info on stuff.
I have a pretty even mix of both. The past several books I've read have been fiction, but over the years I've read a lot of non-fiction (mainly books about history/historical figures).
