I like to read non-fiction,then I learn something new.I read alot of biographies about people.It's interesting to learn what they did in their lives.I read about Abraham Lincoln,and I'm now reading about George Washington.After George Washington,I'm gonna read about Martin Luther,he was some christian guy that wrote commentaries on the Bible.I like to learn about the people of history.What do you like to read about?

Hi Java09 . Mainly nonfiction: The Holy Bible, WW II, geology, physics, electronics, natural medicine, etc. Martin Luther, eh? You're in for a real treat, for this man done far more than write commentaries of the Holy Bible. I have just read most of "Here I Stand" about Martin Luther. You can see the mighty hand of God in all of this. You have made a great choice. You will find his bio quite gripping. Every year our church observes Reformation Day (Oct. 31). About 4 years ago I portrayed Luther. Three years ago I portrayed John Staupitz. You should run into that gent when you read about Luther.

I like to read many different kinds of books. I read novels, short stories, poems and non-fiction. I often read horror stories or historical novels. I especially love horror stories. I like to read them and I also intend to write my own collection of horror stories one day. Sometimes I read biographies and autobiographies, I likr to read books about my favourite authors or other famous people. I also like to read books about travelling/other countries, nursing, psychology, philosophy, art or history.

I like to read Fantasy novels like "Lord of the Rings", "Chronicles of Narnia", and "The Last Unicorn". I'll occasionally read science fiction or realistic fiction, but I think out of the hundred books I read in a year only about two of them will be non-fiction. I'll read anything I'm in the mood for, but for the most part it's Fantasy.

It's good to read.It keeps up reading skills,and it's good for the mind.I like some fiction,but recently got into biographies,because my daughter is reading them for her book report,so I read with her so I can help her with her report.It keeps your brain feeling alive.Thanks for your response.

I love to read science fiction a lot. Also historical books, both of a fiction and non fiction sense. Those are the books that I tend to read about. While I have no clear favorites in those genres, when I usually pick up a book, that's what I tend to read.

I love reading Novel. My all time favorite novels are written by John Grisham. If I'm not reading love story books, I'm reading books with suspense, thriller plot in which I always find myself intrigue who killed this character and why. Maybe thats the reason why I also love to watch CSI tv series.

I enjoy reading various genres of novels. But I would have to say that my favorite genre, or the one that I read most often, are murder mysteries. They've been been my favorite for the longest time, for as long as I can remember. However, I also enjoy reading biographies, classics, historical novels, just to name a few.

Hi Java, I enjoy reading fiction, especially crime investigation, horror and murder mysteries. I do a lot of serious reading in my work, especially on business and technical stuff, so I prefer to do light reading during my leisure time.

I too like to read non-fiction.Yeah, that helps one to learn. Among non-fiction I read recently the Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics(currently reading). Other non-fiction books I read are mainly subject oriented.There was this book by Lee Smolin titled The trouble with physics. Then I reada beautiful popular monograph on the Square Root(-1) and the "birth" of complex numbers. Among fiction my most recent read was The Lost Symbol. It is sort of good.

I like to read fiction because non-fiction sometimes seems a little bit serious for me. Anyways, we can learn more from it than from a fiction.
