I'm pretty much the same way. Prior to owning a Kindle, practically all my reading was non-fiction. Now about half of the books I read are fiction, and much of that fiction has been written by authors who post here at MobileRead.

Science, religion, history, politics and philosophy are my main interests. Not necessarily in that order.

I do sometimes feel guilty over not having read one book or another. There's no reason for it, as no one can possibly read every good book ever written. As Patricia's tagline says, "Of making many books there is no end [Ecclesiastes, 12.12]." Still, sometimes I do.
