What do you prefure to read?
Just a question do you prefer to read fiction or non fiction and why?

I prefer reading fiction; I am not really a fantasy kind of person. I love reading about things that have accrued and why they happened. I analyze things and try to not make the same mistakes as people in my pasts have.

I prefer fiction. Sci-fi fantasy to be exact. David eddings and anne bishop are two of my favorite authors.
BTW: I think you meant non-fiction, which is things that actually happened.
and I believe accrued=occured
I believe that is what you meant to say. I am not criticising, just helping you out. no offense intended.

I’m confused. Do you mean Non-fiction?
Quote:
Fiction:
the class of literature comprising works of imaginative narration, esp. in prose form.

I’m a non-fiction book kind of guy. I read mostly about politics (it’s also my major (just 3 classes to go!)). I prefer fiction in my movies (Unless they’re documentaries).

I prefer fiction in my spare time. Particularly I have been on a classic literature kick because back in high school when we read some of these I was a cliff notes kid. Currently I am reading "The Brothers Karamazov" and it is becoming one of my favorites.

Fiction for books. Most of my non fiction reading is articles, essays, and that kind of stuff.
I read (Non school) books for leisure, and thus I like fiction.

Though I do like non-fiction, I think fiction, in particular fantasy, is just as, or more, viable than non-fiction. In fiction there are no boundaries that cannot be crossed. Any issue is fare game. Certain aspects of religion, politics, society that are not usually appropriate for non-fiction, are the domain of fiction. And you get a good story, too.

Uhm, there is no choic for both, so I can not vote. I alternate. One fiction, one no-fiction.
Best of both worlds
