Occasionally, they don’t usually hold my attention well. But if it’s someone I’m interested in I’ll read the biography/ memoir or a topic I’ve always enjoyed I’ll read it.

Yes! I’ve gotten into non-fiction books in the past couple of years. I need a variety of topics though. I can’t read several non-fiction books about the same thing. I think it took me so long to get into the non-fiction genre because during school, I had to read so many textbooks!

Yes, I read non-fiction books. One of the classic non-fiction books I admire is "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank.

I read non-fiction books to expand my horizon and increase/widen my knowledge in history, science and philosophy. Some of the notable ones I have read are The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, Future Shock by Alvin Toffler, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values and the Peter Principle by Laurence J. Peter. Having said that however, I prefer fiction for leisure and entertainment.

Rarely, but I try to read a couple a year. They just don’t hold my attention quite as well and feel more like work, which is very much not why I read! However, every year there’s at least one or two topics that are really interesting and want to learn more about, or someone’s life that I find really interesting that I want to know more about.
