The New York Times Book Review had an essay in the back about reading and the author put it quite well for me: "Whether we're reading a novel, a biography, or for that matter, a book about orchids, we seek an elusive combination of pleasure, utility, and intellectual stimulation, something to pique our curiousity and engage our minds."
That's true for me, and I think what constitutes a good balance of the above is personal, which is why there are so many novels, genres, and non-fiction books out there.
