Answer:
I've never been a fan of fiction books. All those sad fiction books that my teachers forced me to read during 6th through 8th grade in Junior High pretty much killed the most remote chances of me liking fiction.
On the other hand, I do like good non-fiction business books. Right now, I'm reading Douglas Brinkley's Wheels for the World. It's a book on how the Ford Motor Company changed transportation as we know it, and an overview on the business aspects of Ford over the years as well.
