reference vs. fictional

I rather read non-fiction most of the time. It give excites me more and it gives more information and better views, most often, about reality than fiction. But I read classic fictional work of authors like Dostoyevsky, Dickens, Shakespeare et at.

I prefer fiction. I find fiction more interesting than non-fiction, but I also read reference books if they are on a subject in which I am interested. But if I need information, I usually search for it online instead of reading reference books to find it.

It depends on really what I am looking for. If I am looking for fun stuff and passing time, then I would most probably go for fictional stuff. But, if I am searching for anything technical or personal, then I would refer to the reference books rather than fictional books. If your query is that in a year do you read more fictional books or reference books, then my answer is that I read more fictional books to reference books. Cheers! Ram
