A kindle has made me read vastly more non-fiction than I used to. I still get in some fiction, but when I was a kid I read a novel a week. Alas, I do not get out to the library enough. I'd say I finish 50+ books a year, with a ratio of 60:40 the majority being non-fiction. Anything around 300 pages can easily be read in a week or less. Longer stuff (600-900 pages) I take more time on but approach episodically. I read multiple books at a time and I dip in and out of books to take short breaks from the density and to enjoy serendipity when ideas between different books overlap. The quality of the prose effects novels more because I feel like I can overlook non-fiction prose quality for the most part (however, there are standouts, like David McCullough, where their prose is as fascinating as their topic). I'm working to get more fiction in again. Recently, I've found there are more novels on my radar than non-fiction books.
