Fiction Or Non-Fiction What Is Your Poison?

 

I love to read...

But, I don't get to do it nearly as much as I would like to.

That's beside the point for this, but just thought I'd let you know.

I predominantly read Non-fiction and books to learn things. 

Boo, Hiss, I know I've heard it all before about the books I read but I do it for a reason.

The main reason why I read books like that is that I always like to learn new things and quite frankly I just like to learn things. 

So to me, it makes sense to read those types of books. 

On the flip side of that, I've also been hearing around the water cooler and reading some articles and posts that talk about the advantages of reading fiction.

I know there are some people who only enjoy and swear by reading only fiction books.

One of the main reasons they enjoy them so much is they say the read to escape or to get away from their lives and the things going on in the real world.

I guess I could see how that would be appealing to some people, and I guess if it was a choice between reading fiction or doing mountains of cocaine or drinking a fifth of vodka every day I guess I could see where they are coming from.

But regardless of what you read or why you read it I still think taking time out of your day each day to read is a very worthwhile activity and something that can only make you and your life better.

So, I'm curious about my community when it comes to reading. Let me know below if you prefer to read Fiction or Non-Fiction books and why you personally prefer one over the other.
