    Definitely, the imagination of some people is incredible. I just like the way they can take you to a whole new world

    The world of people's imaginations are so much more vivid and fantastic than the real world.
    5 Examples:
    "The Lost Conspiracy" by Frances Hardinge (just finished it today, loved every word)

    "Jade Green: A Ghost Story" by Phylis Reynolds Naylor (it sounds dumb, but it is CREEPY...)

    "Labyrinth" by A.C.H. Smith (The BOOK, not the movie)

    "The Two Princesses of Bamarre" by Gail Carson Levine (despite the title, it's not a girly book. It's about a bad*ss princess who journeys across her country, fighting ogres, dragons, etc., to find a cure for a disease her sister has)

    "Behind the Attic Wall" by Sylvia Cassedy (my all-time favorite book EVER. I've only had the book for a year, and it's already falling apart from being read so many times)

    I do like some realistic fiction, though. But mostly, stories about reality bore me. Not that I don't like the real world--I love the world--but most non-fiction or realistic fiction books are cancer stories or stupid old west tales or war stories or books where they sit around "in the summer heat" and do absolutely nothing. The realistic fiction I like is kind of fictitious, like "Every Soul A Star" by Wendy Mass or "The Wanderer" by Sharon Creech or "Wonderstruck"/"The Invention of Hugo Cabret" by Brian Selznick. The stories could actually happen in real life, but they're so vivid and imaginative.

    I like both, but I do tend to read more non-fiction books fully. I tend to be picky about the type of fiction I read, even my favorite authors don't get fully read books if the first 3 chapters aren't up to scratch!

    Because it's highly unlikely that Non-fiction is the best to read, in my opinion.

    I breathe fiction! Why would I ever read about ordinary lives when I see them all around me every day. I live one. Books are there to escape from reality. At least for me.

    Both!

    Personally, I like reading non-fiction for learning purposes. I don't enjoy reading non-fiction stories, though. Fiction, after all, has to make sense, have connections, themes, and literary devices which make the experience better which non-fiction accounts usually lack. Fiction is just better put together. Non-fiction is as senseless as life is, most of the time.
