Default Re: Does "books" mean "fiction"?

Do people here read whole books (as opposed to looking up details on Google) about a wide range of non-literary subjects?
Lots of history, lots and lots of philosophy, theory, and of course masses of litcrit (being my profession), some linguistics, art, lots of political sciences, enough psychology, some stuff on mathematics and physics, but the latter two are only skin-deep. some theology (getting more each month), some anthropology.
