This isn’t Real is it?

When reading for fun, do you usually choose fiction or non-fiction? Do you have an idea why you prefer one over the other?

Read for fun?  I don’t have time for that anymore.  School is all-encompassing.  That said…

When I do try to read a book, it is almost always fiction.  I like the escape that fiction gives you.  Sometimes reading a book and knowing it is real forces you to think more than you want to.  Especially since I am a thriller, murder mystery type of reader.  I seldom read any other genre.  I don’t want to read a real life thriller because it ending badly is more than just good writing.  It’s someone’s life.

So, when I read for fun, I usually choose fiction.
