Exactly...they are feeding you knowledge. I read a lot of nonfiction for the purpose of learning. I want to know more about life in the Bronze Age, for example, or about daily life in the Middle Ages, or perhaps the memoirs of a Sudanese child soldier, or a debate about whether math is discovered or created, etc.

that is a really good answer

I haven't ever thought of it like that. I always assumed that you would read nonfiction for the same reason as fiction (for the pleasure) but being genuinely curious about a topic like that totally makes sense

and thank you for your reply

But that is pleasure for many people.

What Laura9624 said. I enjoy learning new things. I read nonfiction about topics that interest me. Animals, nature, autobiographies, memoirs, social justice, some history, and other random things. I read nonfiction and fiction for pleasure. I enjoy and get pleasure from learning about topics that interest me.
