I gave up reading fiction a long time ago in the early 1980s. I just felt that stories were a waste of time and learning about things was more enjoyable and far more important.

The only fiction I've read since then was a reread of 1984 by George Orwell, in order to compare it to current times.

Grew up reading the dozens technical books and manuals one of my parents kept, who was into the early IBM PC's and computing in general of the time. Remember I much preferred those over any type of fiction, hands down no contest. In fact, those type of books are 95% of what's on my bookshelf. The remainder are the Bible, and books written by various physicists.
