I prefer nonfiction, because in a sense which sounds like some cross between Borg and Vulcan philosophy: it is efficient in that it is true. I like being able to directly apply ideas to my life. That said, I do enjoy the occasional fiction book. I'm not entirely sure where poetry falls in this -- as, from experience writing it, I can say it is often personal truth, but not objective truth. Though, I love poetry all the same.

I don't particularly like sitting and reading books, I don't know why...but I do really love learning and the occasional story, and I find reading (or listening to audiobooks) is often the best way to accomplish this. I also find that while people tend not to think through passing conversation or social media interactions, they tend to put more thought to what they put in print -- meaning that the result feels like something both more meaningful and more considerate. This isn't always the case, but often it is. I never thought I'd say this, but I think my best friends are books.
