I have about 60% non fiction ( I have a lot of books on Australian pioneers and the outback as well as WW2 and other assorted books of days gone by.) 40% Fiction , only because I use the library a lot and quite a few cook books. Love Cooking.

Wel it depends on mood. When I am in good mood I read fiction and when I am low I read facts.

I definitely prefer facts. I also like serious interpretations of facts. Some of you might be interested in memoirs written by senior citizens. The link is:

One set of extracts from WWII recollections more probably be added tomorrow.

I have a lot of history and biographies as well as parapsychology books, on the occult, religion philosophy, on Magick,serial killers, and cookbooks. I would say though that 85% of my books are fiction.

I used to read alot of fiction, almost exclusively. Now I read nothing but non-fiction. If a subject interests me, I can
become obsessive about it. My latest interest is Whitaker Chambers and his morphesus from Communist to Staunch
Conservative.
