At least 1/3 of what I read is non-fiction. I recently read Devil in the White City and thought Sin in the Second City was a far more entertaining book.

@Saulo How mad would this make me? It sounds good but I also just finished Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and I don’t know how much more angry reading I can handle this year. ?

I read a mix. Mostly fiction but I love non fiction. If you haven’t read Hillbilly Elegy, do. I’m halfway through it and loving it. Also, I loved I Am I Am I Am and You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me. I also read history, mental health/psychology and a mish mash of other topics. Whatever catches my interest.

Yes, 99%. Some fiction is worth my limited concentration, but I can always find something interesting in non-fiction and I don’t have to read the whole thing. I have many interests, cooking, fitness, philosophy, spirituality, psychology, textile arts, meditation, etc.

@Rachel what is it about?

Rachel

It is a book that gives generalized accounts of people with unusual traits unique to their biological makeup. A man who can’t forget anything, a woman who gets lost everywhere including her own home, people with Cotards, etc. It’s more subjective than scientific, but is still an interesting book.

Any physics textbooks or Biochemistry. Also I still love solid state textbooks and any of the physics journals.

I read more non-fiction than fiction; partly for work but mostly because there’s so much to learn.

Non-fiction is my go to, always. Fiction upsets me because inevitably at the end I’m sad it’s not real.

I usually read digital and with fiction, the end is at 100% or near it.

A good nonfiction usually ends like at 70%-80%, because of the notes, bibliography/references, etc ?
