I’m big into non-fiction and to me it can be similar to reading good fiction. Good writing is good writing regardless of the genre. As readers, isn’t that what we are after? For example, dry history can be extremely dull, but when written well can be extremely addictive. A few good titles that come to mind are The Devil In The White City by Erik Larson and Rubicon by Tom Holland. Same with science. I read The Book of Eels by Patrik Svensson and found it one of my favorite reads. It helps to have some interest in a topic, but for the most part good writing in most forms is a pleasure to read.
