I used to read a lot of fiction. Mainly in my mid 20's to mid 30's and while I was out to sea while in the navy. These days (mid-40's) I prefer non-fiction. Bio's and auto-bios, history, reference type books that I can learn something from. Always have enjoyed reading these types but used to throw in the fiction, not so much anymore. Since I returned to Minnesota after retiring from the navy I have read a lot of different books about Minnesota and the surrounding region.
My lady has tried to get me to read the Hunger Games trilogy books. Haven't yet. I might. She said they are great.
Currently reading a book that came out this year titled "For Love of Lakes" by Darby Nelson and will be ordering a history book next called Old Rail Fence Corners - Frontier Tales told by Minnesota Pioneers. Just finished Gunflint by Justine Kerfoot (of Gunflint Lodge). Old Rail Fence Corners is an old book first published in, I believe, 1916. Here's a link to the Amazon copy.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson...and...“Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading".
