Swore off non-fiction after college... Only thing I would be interested in is maybe something about outer-space, and even then I don't really want to read about physics and math... Plus TV is a better medium for that type of thing.

Real life is better in documentary form IMO

You could try the warhammer 40k books or even Shadowrun. Combines sci-fi and fantasy.

Ah, well I have nothing against people who like fiction. I've read a few that I liked, but I just can't justify it. Even though I guess its improves imagination, creativity, and can relate to real world lessons. And its entertaining.

The only book I can think of is Vril, The Power of the Coming Race. Only because its written like fiction, but relates to reality.

Here's a summary, and there's a .pdf you can find on google.

Yeah basically books that when i walk over to her and read over her shoulder i can find some kind of sex act happening or someone's feelings being expressed. Personally i dont mind her reading those books cause it just gives her ideas for in the bedroom so works for me until she starts to want to poke me with things lol.

I just found the biker aspect funny. I didn't know it had become a thing in the romance for housewives book scene. Started picturing Ron Perlman on the cover.

Sword of Truth series from Terry Goodkind was pretty good.

I thought The Dark Tower series was awesome. Fantasy Horror Western? Yes,plz.

If you want typical fantasy series though Sword of Truth, Sword of Shannara Trilogy, Dark Elf Trilogy & Icewind Dale are decent.

Chuck Palahniuk writes some pretty crazy stuff if your into progressive fiction (he wrote Fight Club)

House of Leaves was one of the weirdest/best reading experiences I've had.

Or you could always reach for some classics ... I'm currently reading H.P. Lovecraft.
