I used to read mostly fiction few years ago, when I was in college and never even touched more than one non-fiction book a year unless it had something related to my classes.
Now a year has passed since I got my college degree, and now I find myself going from one non fiction book to another. I feel non-fiction gives the mind more things to contemplate and when you have several questions raging in your head, non fiction works better than fiction I guess. When I read fiction, I am usually taken to some alternate world and I forget myself. It is fun, but reading non fiction seems way more advantageous to me than fiction - atleast right now when I'd have to take steps which would be deciding my future. But I make sure that I pick up one or two select fiction books between the non fiction books, to keep the other part of mind alive and kicking.
