Which do you like more, biography or novel?

I believe I prefer autobiographies best. I like it when someone who has made it from dirt poor to some wealth in their life. These are the best stories to read. I have read some others, but the ones who start out with nothing are always the ones that keep my attention. They are also the ones that I remember the most. I also like to read positive thinking books. I like the ones that remind you that you have to keep trying if you want to get ahead in life. Keep bearing down and eventually you will get there. Of course, it seems to come easier for some than others. I guess it is all a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Hope you have a good evening zhuhuifen46!

I like many kinds of books. I especially like the old fashioned mystery novel where you have to figure it out before it gets to the end. I also like other kinds of fiction, but nothing gruesome, bloody, or horror-types. I like Christian biographies, but that is about all. I have read a few others, but I have to be in the mood and really want to read about someone else's life to read them. I also like almost all kinds of Christian non-fiction as well as general interest books of all kinds.

There are some biographies I like and even re read on occasion, such as a biography on John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson. As I've gotten older, I find myself reading more nonfiction.

I have always loved to read real stories so i will go for biography.its not that i dont like novels i have read many of them too,but biographies of great people rising from nowhere to become figures in history always thrills me more.

As long as they're interesting, I don't mind which. Read a book based on the later years of Napoleon (not sure if it was factual) but it was very good. Have found that biographies about people from pre-20th century have more appeal for me.

I like the ones that remind you that you have to keep trying if you want to get ahead in life. Keep bearing down and eventually you will get there. I read some of biography, but I like more to read novels, especially having a genres like romance, sci-fi, fantasy, adventure and comedy.

I have to say that I like reading novels better. I love fiction writing. I do like reading biographies some though. I enjoy the ones about political figures especially. You can certainly learn alot about the real political scene from these biographies. I think to that autobiographies are equally entertaining, although seldom published on important figures.

Biography can be inspiring but boring.But novel is exciting as you select the kind og genre and you read a story that is totally untold to you.In biography,you need to know little about the person before you start talkin sip of it.

As far as I am concerned, I prefer to read novel rather than biography. Because I think novels are usually more interesting and more catching, it will grasp my mind and drive me into those interesting stories. While some biography is also very worth reading.

I prefer biographies. I think although the style of writing is limited, its closer to reality. Its raw, making it realistic. I think some novels that are based on real life is too sensationalized. But it really depends on what a reader is looking for. If you're more into the creative style of writing then novels are for you. But if you're after reality at its "finest" then biographies are better.

i prefer novels best. Because some biographies are either boring or too heart-breaking. It really makes my heart cry when i know it's a true life story. Like after i read the Ann Frank book, i really couldn't take it. it was just SAD. At least after a novel, i would cry if the plot was really heart-breaking but i won't ponder on it because it's fictional. But if i were to know that it did happen in real life, i don't think my little glass heart can take it. I'm too emotional.

i like biography because all the biography's are written by great people we can learn something from those books but what is there in novel it is just like a storey i don't have much intrest in those novels because they are just for entertainment.

I love to read novels ,mainly fantasy novels.Biographies are knowledge sources but we cannot read them at any time.But Novels writters make it interesting to complete the book

well if its my concern then i like to read biography more as far as novel is concern because in biography there is many thing like dob,qualification and many more thing which i like for ex success and failure

Hi there! I prefer novel than biography. Happy mylotting and have a nice day!

I'm more interested and like more novels than biography, for me, it was quite more entertaining and enjoyable to read. I read some of biography, but I like more to read novels, especially having a genres like romance, sci-fi, fantasy, adventure and comedy.

I don't like reading biography of people. I like reading novels and my favorite authors are Sidney Sheldon, Isaac Asimov and Robin Cook. I have read about 100 English and about 1000 Hindi novels.

I agree, as a breed novelists are better writers than biographers. So I tend to read novels, as a first choice, given the way you have framed the question. But I will read the biography after the novel, if the subject is outstanding. However, if the biographer is quite good and the subject is also outstanding, then I will read first the biography. I hope you are not confused by my convoluted reasoning. Actually, I make sure that the biography or novel I buy is really good by my reading large portions of the book at the bookstore. Before, I would be asked not to do personal reading, but when I explained to the booksellers that I would not buy a book whose content I do not know, they have allowed me since then to do that. But they still stop others doing personal reading, but not me.

I have no special liking the biography or novel. Some celebrities ' biography lets me shake and exert myself but feel out of reach. Especially describe the biography of personage of different era or different country.And the novels of some living types, there is many function of the pastime.Do you think so?

i would more prefer novele than biography,becouse i m very fond of reading ,it is too understable ,it also increae my understanding level ,it entertain me and as well as working for my future goals
