Definitely fiction. I like the escape from reality and getting completely emmersed in a world that is so like ours yet isn't. Often science fiction/fantasy, but fantasy doesn't necessarily mean knights and wizards; I read a great book about beets, purfume, and immortality recently. I also enjoy pouring over a good libretto or musical score every once in a while.
