Which one do you love most?
I don't know if you've noticed, fictional movies have in some ways improve our sense of reasoning towards certain subjects. Though most of the stories are based on possibilities, some how our brain begins to see reasons with such possibilities to a point when the idea eventually becomes a reality in the future.
Take for instance the movie A Trip to the Moon directed by Georges Melies. It was a 1902 sci-fi adventure film inspired by Jules Verne's novel, From Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon. The film follows a group of astronauts who travel to the moon on a cannon propelled capsule to explore the surface of the moon. At the time this movie was released, space travel was merely an idea, a far fatched idea which was termed as impossible given the limited knowledge and technology at the time. But the movie and others like it helped inspired a work in progress towards the impossible. 66 years later in 1968, NASA's Apollo mission made it a reality. Just like in the movie, three astronauts including Neil Armstrong became the first humans to travel beyond the confines of planet earth and reach the moon. This is just me instance of many other possibilities which fictional movies hinted on and it later became a reality. Hence, I'll like state that science fiction when played right I more like a vision of the what's to come in the distant future.
Going back to the question, i'll say fiction all the way. Not that I don't like or watch non-fiction movies, I jut feel fictional stories are more thrilling. Watching science fiction movies is my way of seeing how creative the human mind can be, the extent to which sound reasoning is brought to life. I mean, it takes a very creative and imaginative mind to come up with mind blowing science fiction movies. This only shows that the human mind is relentless and can be used to achieve way more than it's average use.
1. How to read?
Reading with great interest, simply is enough to improve your writing ability, vocabulary and knowledge. Anything you read has a piece of Knowledge in it. It is up to you and depends on how determined you are to know and understand each word you read. Some people skim through a book rather that giving it a through read. But I suggest, reading a small paragraph daily by knowing and understanding the meaning of each word is more than enough to develop your language skills.

Everyone has their own varied interest. Books are available in a large number of genres and apart from that there are a number of poetry,journal, etc. You must decide what you need to read.

3. Fiction vs Non-Fiction
Fiction is simply a story of ones imagination. Starting from the story line to the setting and characters, everything flows out of the authors imagination. When you read a fiction you are simply reading through some ones imagination. That does not mean that the wild imagination does not hold any knowledge. A fiction too requires a lot number of reality in it, in order to be digestible.Eg of a fiction is : The Alchemist br Paulo Coelho ( and it ia a very good to start with.)
