Re: Do you read non-fiction?
Too much to recite, but the best non-fiction book i've read overall, is probably Tocqueville's Democracy in America, as it manages to combine stylistic brilliance with remarkable prescience and profundity; the worst was Empire by Hardt & Negri (a nauseating tome of hybridsized Marxist/Postmodernist trash), or anything written by the remarkably boring and mediocre John Dewey (apparently a 'great' American intellectual, or so i hear - he even got a chapter in Bertie Russell's History of Western Philosophy smh).

Re: Do you read non-fiction?
I've read a ton of true crime. And a fair amount of history. I'm sure I've read more non-fiction than fiction.
