Do you read non-fiction books?

[KITtheKAT]

It depends on the story. I feel like a voyeur looking into the lives of strangers when I read a biography.

Sometimes. They are not always my first choice, but I don't dislike them. One just really has to catch my eye for me to want to read it, unless it's recommended in one of my college classes or something like that. I will sometimes read them through recommendations as well.

I don't mind some of them. I will read it for something different but it's not the first thing I would chose to read.

I read non-fiction books more often than I would have thought I would. I enjoy fiction more than non-fiction, but there have been some non-fiction texts that have been so captivating that I lost myself in it and was amazed at all that could be applied within my own life. The book that comes to mind when I think of non-fiction books that will capture the heart is called "Uninvited" by Lysa TerKeurst. That book is absolutely mind blowing! In my top five favorite books of all time!

I'd thought I wouldn't enjoy non-fiction, but recently, I've started to appreciate the genre more. I reviewed a guide on zombies a few weeks ago, and i loved it!

Yes. Recently read Grocery by Michael Ruhlman, discussing the buying and selling of food. Really good.

Non fiction is one of genres I like reading. They talk about real happenings and are really amazing.

Definitely I like reading non-fiction books. I prefer them to the fiction books. Reality all the way...

An obvious yes. In fact I like reading non-fiction to the extent that it makes me to dislike fiction books.

[Riptidemom8]

Not usually. I prefer to escape reality into a good fiction.

[classicaltwist]

I do enjoy nonfiction. I even enjoy reading books about math from time to time, which seems to baffle many people.

[Jeconiaomolo]

I do like reading non fiction books because they not only entertains but also educative.

[RegularGuy3]

Just finished another n/f book yesterday--Mining for Alaskan Adventure. Loved it. Even wrote a review for this site.

[hebcandle]

I do read a lot of non-fiction books on history and culture; it comprises most of my bookshelf. But the majority what I read is fiction. I tend to bounce between the two depending upon my moods.

[Londera]

I often dont read non-fiction books. I just prefer fiction,as it is often more entertaining.

[dragonet07]

I suppose it really depends on the subject matter. I like literary analysis/theory, history books, spiritual books (although I'm not fond of religious books), memoirs/autobiographies, and sometimes I dabble in heavier stuff like economic and scientific theory books. I prefer nonfiction which still seems to have a plot (like autobiographies and memoirs) but I also like just academic books. I usually stick to fiction but I don't rule out nonfiction.

I like to read non-fiction if it tells a story. I enjoy reading about how other people have overcome challenges in life and which shows their resilience. I also admire the strength they demonstrate by sharing their story.
