When reading a book what do you look for? Do you prefer fictional or non-fictional? Please cast your vote. If you wish to elaborate on your vote, please do so.

You can make more than one choice, so go wild, not too wild.


Thank you.

I'm a history buff, so most of my books are non-fictional biographies or simply non-fiction history...of course some would say alot of the history we read today is at least partly fiction. :)

I liked Erich von Daniken when i was younger. He has some really twisted theories. From horrors I used to like "The call of Cthulu" and other stories by the same author but sadly I forgot his name now.

That would be H.P. Lovecraft :)

Non Fictional. For a decade, I still love reading "Road to Mecca" by Muhammad Asad Weiss

I guess the genre I am interested in depends on the moment. I have several purposes for reading.

Learning Religion

Learning History

Learning Culture

Learning Sciences

Learning Geography

Learning about anything

Teaching

Relaxation

Prayer

If I am going to be talking to my grand kids, I had best be up to date with whatever is of interest to them. My grand kids range in ages from in their 20s to less then 2 years old. So that keeps me on my toes. If I am talking about people in my age Bracket. FDR and WWII are most certainly going to come up. Then there are my flying friends both active and inactive. The latest trends in light air craft and the newest navigational equipment will come up. Of course my former colleagues in the med field. I still try to keep up with the current findings in neurology and neuroanatomy.

Then there are the graphic arts. We are in the early stages of previously unknown art media and art topics. A person can spend a life time just learning the art of fractuals.

So, there is my long winded rant as to why I checked a mixture of the above.

Barakallaahu feekum/ Thank you to all those who voted or/and left a comment. Highly appreciated.

The choie for 'I hate reading' wasn't put up as a choice because you guys are insignificant :p Nah I wanted to only focus on those who read books, sorry if I made it seem like I was isolating anyone.

For those who prefer non-fictional to fiction, can I ask why? For me I'd only read history based books if I had to read non-fiction or a major event-Holocaust, Slave trade, Slavery etc. I don't count Islamic books as something to be read as a hobby. I do it to learn, my aim and objectives are different when I pick up an Islamic book. Anyways fictional books aren't exciting enough for me. Its too realistic so its just average. I like a book that is compelling, extra-ordinary. That's just my opinion.

I only put few choices up because I wanted to limit the voting poll. Once again thank you everyone! Keep voting!
