I read nonfiction books. I read fiction books as well. I read them almost equally.

I really enjoy reading fictions. Fantasy, Adventure, Fairy tails they help you nurture your life and prospects about the world around.
Some fictions like biographies also I read but self help books are not my cup of tea.

I prefer to read fiction over non-fiction. However, I like to read non-fiction books too. If the subject interests me, I will want to read the book regardless if it is fiction or non-fiction. My favorite non-fiction subjects lean towards career growth, financial advice, and mental wellness.

Yes. I read a good book about the eye. Cannot remember the author though. However, I read less non fiction books than when I was at school. Prefer to read fiction books now.

Definitely. I read about 50/50 between nonfiction and fiction, with the occasional mystery thrown in for a little variety. 🙂

I read some nonfiction books to educate myself on different subjects and learn about different areas. However, I probably read 10 times as many fiction books over nonfiction books.

I try to read one non-fiction book for every five fiction books I read. I find myself enjoying the non-fiction books more than I thought I would.
