I’m a voracious reader, and have been since my youth. However, I’ve always seemed to be more interested in non-fiction books, especially the last 14 years when I started working as a Web Developer. I usually alternate between learning a new language (up next: Objective-C and Cocoa), Deepening my knowledge of a related discipline (Just finished: Content Strategy for the Web) and reading business and ‘big idea’books (Recently Read: Rework). Sometimes I’ll read multiple books at the same time, and sometimes I’ll read books one after the other, end-to-end. So this got me thinking: Am I the only one that reads non-fiction like this? Answer in the poll, after the jump.
