I read for information, data input. I don't enjoy it like some people do. In the case of Fiction, I'll wait for the movie to come out.

Excellent fiction that gives one a peek around the corner at the future or provides great insight is very worthwhile but hard to come buy. I always find myself trying or thinking of hwo to rewrite the fiction I read. I guess I am somewhat of a frustrated author. I read almost exclusively informational reading and the voluminous junk people write on the web.

Almost exclusively. There has been so much strange stuff that has happened in history, that the fiction writers are rank amateurs.

Usually I alternate fiction with non-fiction but haven't had time lately so have been sticking with non-fiction. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate.

I can get lost in a fiction book, I read more non-fiction but its work - for my masters - and therefore not seen as enjoyable

I always get confused when those words get brought up. Lets just simplify it all by calling it "real" and fake"

The story tends to mean more to me if I know it actually happened (in history).

I don't have the patience to read fiction, it's a huge waste of time, I prefer watching movies instead (when it comes to fiction.)
I do read a lot of non-fiction, mostly educational/professional stuff (like technical stuff, foreign languages, economics, science related stuff, etc.)

I do more non-fiction reading for my job but I'd refer to read a good, well-written, thought provoking and engaging novel.
