Hermione is the one who's bookish, but Ron is the only one we've actually seen enjoying fiction. (Well, Hermione has her textbooks to memorize.)

the man doesn't have a sense of humor.

Or put more briefly: the man doesn't have any sense.

[conuly]

That too.

I thought the article about the program for pregnant heroin addicts was excellent.

I'm taking a break from Trump News but I'm going to read the science links. Thank you, as always.

[conuly]

I feel you on T. I skip a lot of them because I just can't with them.

I think Hermione's more practical than creative. I see her as someone who probably reads fiction more for academic value than "OMG THIS IS SO GOOD" value. Which has merit; a lot of my literature courses in college were far more centered around academic outlooks than on the stories and characters themselves. (However, these instructors liked fiction, that just wasn't the point of those particularly classes.) But I do think it explains why she might prefer nonfiction over fiction, if her ventures into fiction are purely academic.

[conuly]

Not even that academic. I can't believe she went six years doing everything she could to immerse herself in wizarding culture and still was unfamiliar with the one book of stories all her classmates had read.
