All I read, other then the Bible, is fiction.

Hey John, I just plugged your books in another thread, too. You gotta start paying me for all this publicity!

I prefer fiction for recreational reading, but my life wouldn't be complete without my history and archaeology books.

I like both. I'm on a fiction kick right now but I will get tired and feed my brain some information and then get tired of that and move on to another genre. It's all good in my opinion.

I prefer nonfiction but also love getting lost in a good fantasy or mystery.

I used to be a big fiction buff but I dunno, I haven't really read much of it lately. At most, I've read like, Christopher Buckley lately and that's political satire/fiction.

It doesn't matter to me at all. I try to go back and forth evenly between the two.

I love reading biographies and history books. I've always been very interested in the Rwandan genocide and I read a lot of books on that subject.

But there is always new fiction books coming out that I want to read.

I prefer non-fiction. I love learning things. Most of what I buy is Bible-related: archaeological, theological, cultural, historical, etc.

Both. I have more non-fiction on my Wishlist because I'm easily fascinated by history books but I probably enjoy a good fiction read more.

I like both. Frequently I will be reading a SF novel and a theological book at the same time.

Well, being the young Bible college student that I am, reading fiction has become a luxury for me. So, while I don't especially dislike non-fiction, whenever I am given time for recreational reading, I'll usually dive into a nice work of fiction.
