Question

non-fiction is literature...DUH

Answer 1

Life is too short for me to read literature.  I read nonfiction to educate myself.

Well I am a big fan of S.E. Hinton, Norman Mailer... as far as the types of literature... I would have to say that I like all genres.  Some of my favorites are "The Swimmer," "Paul's Case," "The Great Gatsby," "The Outsiders,"... anything.
