Fiction vs. Non-Fiction

[bookworm44]

I use to read mostly fiction books, but late last year I got into reading non-fiction and loved it. So lately all I've been reading is non-fiction.

Last year I read:

 

74% Fiction

19% Memoir/NF

9% YA / Kids

 

Last year I read some pretty darn good stuff.

 

I think this year, I will be getting into more regular non-fiction versus the memoirs, but fiction holds my attention that normally NF can't.

I very seldom read non-fiction,the only time I will read non-fiction is usually when someone gives me a loan of a book and I have nothing else lying around,the only exception I can remember in recent times was the Shelia Hancock book about her and John Thaw but that was more to do with my love of Thaw(Sweeney/Morse/Cavanagh)than the book itself.

I am a fiction girl through and through. I would like to try and branch out a little and read a few autobiographies because I’ve seen a few that have interested me, but for me reading is an escape from reality and fiction hits the spot perfectly.

I read whatever takes my fancy at the time fiction or non-fiction. Although generally the fiction reading is higher than the non-fiction.

Mostly fiction but I find a lot of the best writing is found in travel writing and memoir.

Used to be around 30% non-fiction, but that's been increasing of late, and was up to 50-50 last year.  In terms of non-fiction, I read a mixture: a lot of history, natural history, travel, science, social sciences and historical/literary biography.  My non-fiction library is about 3-4 times the size of the fiction library!
