Fiction vs Nonfiction

Personally, I like both, but if I had to choose between them, I'd go with nonfiction. What's your preference?

I do like fiction, but usually when I read nowadays, it's out of a manual or a history book Tongue

LOL, same here. Big Grin

I prefer fiction... although like the two above me, I find myself reading manuals or history books more often than others Tongue

Ikea manuals are the most entertaining form of manuals.

Classic fiction. (Pride and Prejudice, etc. ) I also like history. And Sometimes I do delve into reading owner's manuals. Most of the time, the stuff in there is common sense, or incomprehensible.

Fiction for pleasure 90% of the time

Love Jane Austin and have read them all several times

I also love vintage crime - Marjory Allingham, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, Josephine
Tay etc

Some great modern books too Robert Harris's Pompeii, Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd

Harris's Pompeii is somewhat a modern equivalent of Tay's Daughter of Time in as much as it is a look back at a historical event from a different perspective.

Nonfiction probably Tongue

I have a pretty strong fiction preference, especially Science Fiction.

I'd go with non-fiction if I had to choose: I enjoy learning useless facts about all kinds of things Tongue

.

Fiction is nice too, though, if I feel like an escape from the non-fiction.

I'm going to go with non-fiction as well.

Reading 3 books right now... and 2 are nonfiction.

The other is an alternative history... so usually if its history or alt-history related I'm good.

What’s the difference between history and alt history?

History is a retelling of actual events. Alternate History is a telling of events had a single thing event gone differently.

This could definitely be an interesting time period for both genres!
