  I'm the opposite.  I have no desire for novels or fiction in general.  I
do read a few fiction books though, such as Mark Twain stories.  But even
those have some real life basis.
  I read to be entertained as well as learn something new.
  I enjoy reading .pdf's of out-of-print books and have many on CDs and
read on a tablet.  Not the same as holding a real book in my hands, turning the
page, etc.  But this is the only way for many books I read.  I get most of
them from http://www.archive.org
  I am particularly taken with history.
