My reaction to fiction was actually the opposite of GadgetMan's. I had been reading a lot of non-fiction for a very long time and no non-fiction. Reading was starting to become a chore because of that. I started reading fiction again, and reading in general became much more pleasurable.
But that didn't lead to a life of TV and movie watching. Movies are too expensive. TV is usually too shallow.

Agreed! But I think there's a typo (fiction/non-fiction)
I've always read both but there have been times when I've focused on one or the other. As far as both I tend to prefer shorter more concise works. Articles, short stories, poetry, but do enjoy longer instances of both novels, non-fiction books now and then. I'm pretty ruthless though, if it doesn't hold my interest I move one. Life's too short and I'm too near the end.
