In the past I read about four non-fiction books for every fiction book that I read, but since getting a Kindle I've been reading a lot more fiction (the fiction selection is better than the non-fiction selection). Nevertheless, I still read a fair amount of non-fiction.
I especially enjoy philosophy (Bertand Russell is a favorite), mathematics (Morris Kline is a favorite), and science (Asimov's Life and Energy, Atom, and Understanding Physics are all favorites). I very much enjoy learning, and books are wonderful teachers, so I have books for whatever my interest of the moment happens to be -- economics, computers, poker, art/painting, the Irish language, the occult/magic, writing, politics, music, etc.
I just happended to buy a book for my Kindle this morning. Reinventing Gravity by John W. Moffat. It's a non-fiction book that explains gravity by modifying Newton's Second Law and thus doesn't require the existence of dark matter or dark energy to account for our observations of the universe. Oh yeah, I too am a geek.
