Generally, I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.
When I'm not writing, I read loads of fiction, but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy, religion, science, history, social or cultural studies.

I don't read a great deal of fiction, to my shame, other than the classics.
I read almost exclusively nonfiction when I read, because even though it's harder to find a great true story, when you find one, the idea that it actually happened is immensely powerful.That's what moves me the most.
I've written fiction... but the nonfiction has always received the most attention.
I don't generally read a lot of fiction.
I read the same amount of nonfiction and fiction.
But I don't read a lot of fiction. I prefer the nonfiction stuff.
I tend to read more nonfiction, really, because when I'm writing I don't like to read other fiction.
