Book poll: do you enjoy fiction or non-fiction more?

[mvd]

I read legal thrillers, novels, and suspense the most, so I'm going to say fiction. Though I also enjoy non-fiction (political books especially) and should read more of it.

1. I dont actually own

a fiction book. just textbooks.

I have no life.

2. i love all books

but i do prefer fiction.

[agates]

3. I read two fiction books to every non-fiction book

Love them all. For me, fiction is escapism, non-fiction is not, but I still enjoy it.

4. Fiction, particularly speculative fiction

Even though I read non-fiction books (mostly political), the vast majority of my reading time is spent with novels. I have a highly active imagination that demands 24/7 stimulus--which is why read fantasy, SF and horror almost exclusively. I really hate mundane fiction.

5. non-fiction

FAR more interesting than ANYTHING anyone could EVER dream up in their heads

6. Pretty much equal for me

I love non-fiction books as well as fiction.:hi:

7. Definately Fiction

I have a very active imagination and daydream a lot actually. I usually read Horror/thrillers, Sci-Fi and Fantasy. I do read some non-fiction books, but that is usually when I am trying to learn about something.

8. In the last few years, I've noticed that I've drifted away from fiction...

And have been reading much more non-fiction.

I have no solid explanation for this; I'm just more attracted to well-written history books, first-person accounts, etc.

9. I enjoy fiction a lot more.

10. They serve different purposes for me

I am both analytical/logical and creative/emotional so both appeal to me on different levels. Sometimes non fiction does appeal to me on an emotional level but usually I buy fiction for that purpose and non fiction for my more logical side.

11. Good analysis

And sometimes the two are blurred. That's why I have an other option. Right now, I'm reading Mary Higgins Clark's Mount Vernon Love Story (my boycott isn't in effect for this book because I already had it.) Mount Vernon Love Story is classified as fiction, but is based on actual events.
