"Bluewater Walkabout: Into Africa" by Tina Dreffin is a non-fiction book. Do you read or do you like reading non-fiction books?

Yeah. Used to read a lot of history books, but now that's fallen by the wayside. Now I barely have time for fiction, which I do like reading a lot more than non-fiction.

I prefer fiction books, but I do sometimes read nonfiction.

Me too. But if do end up reading non-fiction novels, it's usually ones that are career centered or a help/how to guide for something. One in particular I enjoyed was RRich Woman by Kim Kiyosaki.

If I read a nonfiction book, it is usually self-help or something similar. Something that could help me grow as a person, similar to the career and how-to genres you occasionally read. However, this site has broadened my reading spectrum quite a bit.

Yes, I read and love certain non-fiction books. My favorite ones are about history and historical personages. I love reading non-fiction books about queens. Alison Weir's history books are amazing.

Like Christina Rose, I prefer fiction. However a good fiction memoir still gets me every time. Especially if it's inspiring.

There are a couple of fiction memoirs I've been meaning to read (The Outsiders and The Help). Hopefully I'll get to them soon!

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 read some nonfiction books to educate myself on different subjects and learn about different areas. However, I probably read 10 times as many fiction books over nonfiction books.

Absolutely. Check out Erik Larson's stuff if you want a good entry point for non-fiction.

Yes, I enjoy nonfiction books a lot. There is so much you can learn from them.

Not all of the time , but let's say occasionally.

I also read non-fiction books to educate myself too

Yes, most recently I've read "A Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, which I enjoyed. But I'm also a student, so nonfiction is part of the curriculum.
