How do you feel about nonfiction books?

I felt like this when I was younger, but have grown to enjoy nonfiction with age. Part of it has to do with your choice of book - some are written almost like novels and move at a fast pace. For example, the book "Hot Zone" by Richard Preston is a fascinating nonfiction book that reads very much like a thriller. Sometimes it's just a matter of finding a good author who writes about a subject that interests you.

Yes, i feel like that too. It would be very boring to read an entire book of non-fiction...unless i am researching for a project. However, i don't mind reading from encyclopaedias, probably because the facts in them only take up a few pages and there are pictures which make the whole thing look interesting.^^ That's why TV does not make you fall asleep.

The best books to read are ones with lots of dialogue between characters and a plot with action.

It is funny that you asked this because I feel the same way. Sometimes when I tell people this they look at me like I'm shallow. I'm an avid reader and consider myself an intellectual =0P but I don't care to read non-fiction, worst of all Self-Help books. Some biographies read like novels and I can enjoy them but other non-fiction, no thanks. Life's is challenging enough, I read to escape.

For real life issues I'd rather get the news online, in a magazine, or a documentary but read a whole of non-fiction? I'd rather take a nap.

Fran- Are you also considering when WE Level 2s joined? Don't be so critical...

I like how the two answers that agree with you are only at level 2, and the two answers that like reading non fiction are both at or above level 4.

I LOVE reading non-fiction. In fact I prefer it to reading fiction (except thrillers, and some sci-fi). I am also above level 4.

wow we are excally the opposite! but it does depend on what non fiction it is!

I just can't stand to bare reading a book where it's like he she said omg this happend i'll watch it instead!
