Fiction or Non?

Do you prefer to read fiction or non-fiction?  Why?  What appeals to you about the genre?  Do you like the fantastical, mystical, other-worldliness of a well-crafted fantasy or sci-fi novel?  Are you an historical fiction buff who likes to travel in your mind back to the times and places of a day gone by?  Do you love a good mystery? Romance?  Or do you simply enjoy reading stories which are the product of the author's imagination?  Do you like the journalistic, informative style of non-fiction writing?  What's your preference? Remember to respond to at least one of your peers' responses as well.
