I've kind of given up on reading fiction.
Granted, I had to put all reading for pleasure on hiatus while working on my MBA. With the exception of summer/winter breaks, I probably only read half a dozen "fun" books through the whole 4 years.
Of course, that will all come to a grinding halt once again in August when I'll start working on my J.D.
It's funny. I used to read dozens of books a year, but if you asked me anything about most of them, I probably couldn't give you an answer as to what the book was about.
With the science/math/history books, I feel like I'm actually coming away with some knowledge gained, and often will make use of it. Discussion of a fiction book, or the author and his/her other writings, doesn't tend to go much further. But you can have countless discussions about Pythagoras---of course you have to find someone willing to discuss him []/forum/images/icons/wink.gif[/]
