Absolutely both! My favorite genre is Historical Fiction, which tends to have a little of both. I really loved the Boudica novels which are fiction based on non-fiction (history).

But more importantly, I think a person should read a little of everything. At first, I had clear ideas about what types of novels I enjoyed and then a friend of my moms gave me a huge box of books. It was a good mix of things I was sure I would hate and there were some lemons in there, but I read every scrap of text in that box and, since then, have been more open minded about literature.

It almost doesn't matter what you're reading, as long as you're reading.

I read more fiction than non-fiction (partly because I read a lot of news articles and magazines so I get a dose of non-fiction regularly). But I enjoy them both.

Fiction for me since I use reading as an escape ^-^

Nonfiction. I do not like to read stories that are made up by somebody that give me no knowledge or benefits to the real world

I do enjoy both. On a day to day basis I read more nonfiction, such as news articles, factual info, policies (relevant to my place of work), even banal things like recipes and instructions. I think we can all agree that's fairly essential to everyday life, but it's an essential that I enjoy - particularly when expanding my knowledge in an area that interests me.

But fiction is something I truly love. I believe someone's imaginations, mixed with their perspective of the world and the thought processes they narrate, gives a valuable insight into many different cultures and societies, and gives me a better understanding and empathy with those around me.

Not to mention the sheer beauty of wordcraft 😍

they're two great tastes that go together, actually.

I like both.
