Personally, I read more non-fiction books because I find them more interesting to read because the events/people actually existed. For example, I love reading biographies because they are inspiring to some extent (like Patrick Roy's bio).

More Sci Fi, but I like autobiographies of interesting people.

Non-fiction, but not typically biographies. Most people are boring lol. I go for books on psychology, sociology, history, culture, the arts, and any other random topic that interests me at the moment.

Non fiction, mainly. Used to be a nut for fiction, then I kind of lost interest. Now I basically read just things related to aviation/space.

I recently read a great book on Irish art theft.

I've been thinking about this and I can't choose... This summer almost all the books I read were non-fiction, but I enjoy a good fiction book too. I find it fascinating to read about real people and events...but it's also fun to fantasize and get lost in a fictional story.

I love well-written fiction. My favorite book is Les Miserables. <3

i like a lot of fiction. non-fiction is okay, but i prefer fiction when the author uses its functions for philosophical purposes, especially specific instances that can be described as kafkaesque. i suppose i should also mention that kafka is one of my favorite writers.
