Dine to Read

Just wondering out there how many of you read non fiction as opposed to fiction. What's the ratio on your bookshelves? What do you think about non fiction? I have nearly 80% non fiction on my shelves, but then I love lots of good novels too. Any thoughts?

Mostly fiction although I do love well written travel books. It's funny how a good writer can make any place sound interesting but a poor writer can be in the most exotic place in the world and make it sound boring. Tim Severin I think has an amazing talent for writing - as well as being fairly adventurous! On the other hand I read a book about Congo a while back which was as dull as anything. Mainly because the author didn't seem to speak to the locals!

I am baised towards non fiction. When I was a kid years ago my mother used to tell us that fiction was for the birds - that we had to read non fiction to expand our minds! I agree with all of you though, in that fiction is great for escape. But I have read a lot of great non fiction recently, that are almost as good as fiction. Something I like to do is look at Pulitzer Prize winning lists and then go for a book or two on the non fiction list...here is it if you're interested http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/General-Nonfiction and for the fiction lovers...http://www.pulitzer.org/bycat/Fiction
A fantastic book to read, and one of the best researched books I've ever read is The Looming Towers, by Lawrence Wright. He spent 5 years across the middle East researching the build up to the Sept 11th attacks, and it's a fantastic read. It reads just like a novel, and it's so amazing to read how a bunch of lunatics from Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia managed to change the world.
