9. Fiction or non-fiction or both? In what ratio? Where do you draw the line between the two?
Both. I mostly read fiction but I do read non-fiction once in a while too. In particular I like biographies and history. And Oliver Sacks. This summer I read Neil Gaiman's non-fiction book. I also read and teach non-fiction for work, mostly articles.
Out of 29 books I read so far this year, three were non-fiction: Defending the City of God: A Medieval Queen, The First Crusades and the Quest for Peace in Jerusalem by Sharan Newman, Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks, A View From the Cheap Seats by Neil Gaiman. And two were a mix - non-fiction blending with fiction: Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jeremy McCarter, Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama by Alison Bechdel . And I'm reading the biography of Edward III by Mark Ormrod along side my fiction books. It's a really long book, so it's taking its time but it is a good one.
