Most of books are either non-fiction or fictionNon-fiction books contain factual information, such as biographies and history booksFiction books contain a story which was made up by the author.

The most commonly read books are works of fiction. Fiction books are ones that have been made up. Perhaps some of their elements are based on hints of truth, but they have been elaborated, fabricated, and used to embellish into a new story.

Some examples of fiction books are The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, and Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda.

Biographies are examples of nonfiction books. Most biographies are nonfiction, but not all non-fiction books are biographies by any means. We say "most" biographies, because a biography of a fictional character is really a fictional book.

Journals such as 'The Secret Diary of Amitabh Bachchan' is also a journal, but it is a nonfiction journal.

Other examples of non-fiction books are "how to" books and travel books
