Do you prefer reading fiction or non-fiction?

And do tell me what types of either that you prefer. I'm not even gonna put in the "I don't read" option because everybody has enjoyed a novel or prose or poetry at some point in time.

I'm really a fiction type of person. I typically lean toward Science-Fiction but sometimes I'll read a Fantasy novel. Historical Fiction is nice every once in a while, too.

If I do feel in the mood to read non-fiction I tend to read Biographies.

Hard question, i have to say fiction.
But Sci-fi storys like Steins;gate was surprisingly good.
So in general (anime, movie, novel etc), Fiction but once in a while it's always good to pick up a Non-fiction.

I tend to lean towards fiction because the writer can do a lot more with the story which makes it much more interesting

I don't read.

*Edit: Oh my, people are offended that I don't read?! ... Why?

Are you blind? Because i can't see any other reason why you shouldn't pick up a book and start reading.

For me i lean mostly toward non-fiction bcos well most of the things they do is possible hahaha but i still love fiction tho.

I pressed fiction because I thought you meant in the context of PORNOGRAPHY.

In general, I don't really know. What does Bukowski's Factotum count as? That I guess.

i voted wrong i meant fiction not non-fiction hehe (=^^=)

Fiction, preferably stuff of a sci-fi/horror genre, post-apocalyptic is probably my favourite subject.

I really enjoy Fiction. It gives your imagination something to ponder and aspire about.

I dabble into some Non-fiction. It gives you more insight to what other people around you think, and helps keep an open mind about a broad range of subjects.

I like Fiction, My first fiction book was a tomclancy book which later went under investigation because he had been so descriptive in his writing that they thought he was a spie! On the other hand some books which are not fiction such as "all quit on the western front" are enjoyable aswell. but if we are picking favorites i would have to go with fiction.

Personally I don't like to read stories but I do love to read about history and learn about current/future technologies.

I'm going to go with fiction. Tunnels, Harry Potter...

Fiction is more versatile and flexible.

Fiction as long as it's original and well-made.

Fiction allows our imagination to run wild. It allows our perverted and erotic thoughts take over our body and mind!

Fiction, Science fiction, and fantasy are my favourite genre's, dont mind the ocasional non fiction science paper from io9 though.

Fiction. All the fun stuff happens there. Besides, Mana, magic dragons and all things awesome place there.

Besides its always awesome to read about space travel and what lies beyond our understanding.

... This. No boundaries except for the writer's imaginations.

Definitely fiction. I like to read sci-fi stuff. The ones that are set in the near future not like super far into the future, it's easier to relate and imagine the story that way.
