I like reading nonfiction books for the same reasonMaulyne wrote:reading a story about another person experience simply put non fiction books gives a first hand clue what one goes through in different situation and on the other hand enable with the right attitude on how to handle such situation . I love reading such kind of books as they give what real is going on without biasness and putting in fantasy to make it appealing to the reader

I agree. Photos of the author's experiences does make the book more exciting.micoleon13 wrote:For me it depends a lot about the subject of the book. I really enjoy reading those books about people´s experience travelling or being in an extreme situation. I like those writers with an easy to read style of writing and photos are always great.

I definitely agree that there are many lessons to be learned from someone else's story.Belynda White wrote:I don't wait to experience things in my life before I learn some lessons. I always observe other people's lives and mistakes and pick my lessons. I'd rather not experience such at all. So yes, I do love reading books that'll teach me lessons from other people's experiences.
