As expected there's lot of nonfiction readers here. Does anyone else find that they get more out of fiction than nonfiction? There's a lot to learn from putting yourself in a character's shoes, seeing life through their eyes and witnessing their life unfold.

I'm currently reading 'Steppenwolf' by Hermann Hesse, and 'Of Human Bondage' by Somerset Maugham. Both novels are fictional representations of the author's life.

I agree with you ! I'm currently reading "Siddhartha" by Hesse and I finished reading "The Name of the Rose" by Eco about a week ago !

Not sure if getting more, but nonfiction reading is quite strenuous for me, as I try to retain as much information as I can. On the other hand, I read fiction for the experience, so even if I forgot everything I read after turning the page, it would be no problem.
