For me books have to be how to books on whatever my latest obsessive interest is. Fiction only did it for me as a child when I loved to read stories about things I'd only yearned to experience and in lieu of that actual experience especially hunting, fishing, trapping, dogs, horses, biographies etc. Unfortunately this all set the table for a voracious appetite for Scientology books my latter years of high school and lead me down a path where I was fortunate to have some "OT" friends of mine concede to me that Scientology was indeed largely fiction or at least that the promised EP's were pure fiction.
Just don't have the time for fiction generally as my own imagination is about all I can handle, not in need of someone else's on top of that. But to each their own. Give me the visual format as in a movie any day over trying to set aside time to read books of any substantial thickness. I buy them all the time but rarely follow through with actually reading them unless I bring them to the doctor's office or on vacation and have to kill time.
