For pleasure, do you tend to read more fiction or nonfiction?

Question

For me the ratio would be about 1/3 non and the balance fiction.

And you?

Answer 1

I read mostly non-fiction. That is my natural inclination and interest, but because of the work I do, I try to stay up on current fiction especially the new literary authors and the best sellers. But, I use alot of audio books for those.

Answer 2

I try to read 1/2 and 1/2, but since I am in school, I read mostly non-fiction during term-time and mostly fiction when on break. I think I still end up reading a little more fiction, though.

Answer 3

I've been majroly into fiction coz i've really not got my hands on much of non fiction maybe in a few days I'll start with non fiction but for pure pleasure I can't go with non fiction as it's real and at times reality is way to harsh or crude to catagorise it into pleasure.

Answer 4

Hmm, for pleasure it's mostly fiction, with the occasional nonfiction.

Answer 5

I love fiction!!! If it's for fun there is a good chance it's a fiction book for me; however, I'm in school so there is a lot of non fiction. It's not overly interesting though :(

Answer 6

Definitely non-fiction. I love British Literature, especially novels like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, David Copperfield, etc.

Answer 7

1/4 wold be nonfiction and the other would be fiction

Answer 8

Mostly fiction. Occasionally nonfiction if I find something incredibly interesting.

Answer 9

I enjoy fiction
but I read nonfiction to learn something
I think most of what I read in fiction

Answer 10

i never thought about it in that way but if given a choice, i guess it would be more non-fiction. i go on biography binges then onto history & corporate structures. if a book is written well, you should be able to be entertained as in fiction, educated as in history & be able to come away with wanting more. breaking it down mathematically, i'd say 78% non-fiction and 28% fiction.
