I go through waves. Lately I've been reading no fiction.

Fiction. Some of the best things I've read are non-fiction, but I just don't usually seek it out.

Edit: Read and answered the title of the thread in the poll rather than the actual poll question.

I read both, which was your poll question.

I prefer non-fiction, which was the thread title, but is a completely different answer.

Both, I go back and forth depending on my mood and what I'm interested in.

I like both, but I prefer to read fiction and listen to non-fiction in audiobook form (if that is an option).

Mostly fiction, but I'll read non-fiction every so often if I get the hankering.

I like bios too, but it's been a while since I've read one.

Mostly fiction, but will mix it up with a non-fiction book every so often.

I stopped reading fiction in grad school, and I've never really picked up the habit since, with one or two exceptions.

Sorry to hear you've relapsed one or two times

Seriously, why would you swear off fiction? It seems unnecessarily limiting.

Then again, I never went to grad school, so maybe it's beyond my understanding.
