What types of books do you prefer, real life traumatic or fiction happy stories?

Hi NailTech, when young I have great interest in reading romantic, adventure as well as science fiction stories. when getting older interest has shifted to books about the technique and knowledge and info about how to do investment in stocks. Different aspects of books loved by people with different interest therefore there must be readers in all kinds of books as long as the content of the book is great and attractive Happy posting

I like both, but I prefer fiction books, not necessary happy ones. If it's a good book you can have success with it either way. I wish you good luck with it, I started writing a fiction book and I hope I'll finish it this month, so I know it takes a lot of work and thinking. As long as you put a great deal of your own soul in it, the result will be great.

I love real like inspiring stories of success. For me stories like that will surely give us more than just stories but it also gives us the inspiration that could uplift our spirit and make our dreams come true despite the odds. Sometimes in life we feel so down, it might be because of problems but reading such stories is really helpful. It is also very nice to share to others knowing that it could probably inspire them also.

I do tend to really prefer any book that is well written. Still given that reading is my escape from reality, the fictional stories, whether happy or otherwise, might be something that I get drawn towards more. Of course it is just really a matter of how the material is presented, with some authors struggling to presenting even the most exciting material. And real life stories tend to have a certain handicap, a certain hurdle that it has to jump. Really in the end it is all about how well the book is written and how well it grabs my attention to entice me to give it a try. There have been some real life traumatic stories that seem to be rather engaging, rather exciting, and there are times where they seem to rather be something that I would find myself indulging in. Then there are other times where I'd like my breaks from reality to be a bit more clean and fluid.

I prefer a fiction happy stories, however it just friction not real one..., However sometimes I also read real life traumatic. It's depend on my mood actually,

I read mostly non fiction now and philosophy. I also like Deepak Chopra's books on spirituality and how to get closer to God. I would have studied law and become a lawyer but my urge to be a fictional writer was stronger... and so I have written ten books so far, and like reading other people's work and coming across great little stories. I am interested in reading stories of high achievers or fiction such as the kind John Steinbeck is famous for.

i prefer fiction that is not traumatic. i do not want stories that make me cry all the time.

Hi NailTech, It is great to hear that you are going to write a book.I personally feel that you should write on a subject that interests and one you feel confident about.However, I love to read all kinds of books - mostly fiction though!..all the best and happy myloting

Well that sounds like a cool opportunity - how do you get involved in something like that? I would probably say reality is a little too boring - at least MY reality - to write a book about. If I were to write a book, or READ a book, I would probably want to read about a character I could relate to, but not necessarily ME. I like the fiction aspect of a book - it makes it interesting to me. I like a crime/mystery aspect to a novel, too. Not to say I haven't read EXCELLENT memoirs (I have read quite a few great ones), but I just prefer fiction over anything else. I have always wanted to write a book - not to try to publish it necessarily but just to see if I could do it! And I would probably write about situations that have happened in real life, feelings I have experienced, characters influenced by people I have met, etc, but I would inter-twine it with some fiction as well. I think that's the way to go. . Happy MyLotting! And GOOD LUCK with your writing!

Hi NailTech, I like a who done it book i think there the best book your alway in for a suprzse at the end. All the best

I prefer fiction. I love to get hooked into a gripping story. If you are going to give in to what the public wants, that may be a commercial advantage. But, if you don't like what you are writing about, you are not going to be a very good writer.

I love to read real life stories. I want to read those books that will enlighten me about the world and about life. I want something that will inspire me. I'm also interested in reading on how a certain undoing became a way to discover what they really want.

I'm a believer in stranger than fiction.
