I think I still read more nonfiction than fiction, but I used to read almost no fiction. My nonfiction reading is a mix of biblical and devotional works, history, music, and the occasional work read for cultural or informational reasons. I like to read to better my understanding of the world around me. It's only recently that I've begun to see, thanks for the likes of O'connor and Chesterton, that some fiction can be good for that purpose, too.
