I hate reading fiction, I'm an engineer! I love facts,
numbers and mathematics, but they were the best
books I ever read!!!

I know what you mean.
I'm an engineer too. Sure, I love facts, figures and truth.
But I couldn't sit down and read "Probability and Statistics for Engineers as Scientists" by Walpole and Myers and enjoy it in the same way I could a good work of fiction.
My tastes include John Steinbeck, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Jean Paul Clebert, Harper Lee, Walter Scott. Mark Twain, Lance Horner and Kyle Onstott, John Fowler to name but a few.
