Yes, that same exact thing happened to me. I used to read almost all fiction and very little non-fiction. As the years went by I started to read all non-fiction. I just got more and more interested in learning about the world, and I felt impatient with fiction.
I'm just finally getting back into fiction after several years away from it, but I choose books super carefully. It has to be something with excellent writing, which grabs me and draws me in quickly. Otherwise, I just can't get into it any more. The good thing is that, because I'm so careful about choosing books, I pretty much only read amazing books now (both fiction and non-fiction).
