My reading is very mood driven, and when not mood, work. So mostly I tend to go with the flow.
When work is intense or I'm not in the mood to get taken in my some long tale of derring-do, I pick up one of the non-fictions that I have on stand-by. Or, if I am hitting one of my occasional reading-blocks (where I can't make up my mind what I'm in the mood for), I pick up one of my non-fictions. Many non-fictions are the sort of thing you can read a chapter at a time at widely spaced intervals, so I find they can be convenient to have on-hand.
This is, for me, is one of the big advantages of an e-reader. I currently have several collections of science articles, a handful of biographies, a few history books, and so on, sitting there ready to be picked up as the need arises. And they can just as easily be put aside for as long as necessary too. Try managing that with physical books.
