I got into reading two years ago and have been exclusively working through all the great works of fiction I have always wanted to read. The list is endless. However there is a mounting list of non-fiction books I want to read. My problem is, I can’t help myself from sticking to fiction as the list is far longer. How do you manage the balance? Non-fiction in the day and fiction at night? Alternating books?

    I find nonfiction more tolerant of interruptions, so I’ll read it in a break at work, or when someone else is being noisy in my household, or when I’m watching tv (during the ads). Which my English teacher would probably weep over, but whatever. I also like reading it in the evenings, it doesn’t have that “you just have to read one more page” thing so a lot of times I’ll read it just before bed. I think it pairs well with reading a fiction book at the same time, though. It’s a mood thing.
