I mix fiction and non fiction, but I mostly read fiction.

The reason I read non-fiction is that I'll think about something and realize I don't ACTUALLY know much about it, so I'll buy a book about it. This year I've read a lot about ancient Rome, but also tamerlane and Richard graves' autobiography, and other books about subjects that I find interesting. It helps make me (hopefully) a well rounded person.

I love an old saying I might have made up; good non fiction tell the truth, good fiction tells universal truth.

In short, I read fiction about subjects I like to understand the world around me more better.
