I am much like you in that unless I specifically schedule myself to read non-fiction, I probs will just sit around reading YA fantasy and whatnot forever.
And I like non-fiction when I actually make myself read it because I love learning about interesting things! It's just that my immediate impulse is not in that direction. Also, like many, growing up there was a somewhat negative association with non-fiction since it was usually compulsory for school. Of course, I rarely minded ANY reading for school, non-fiction or otherwise, once I actually started reading it, but before I started the fact of being TOLD what to read would just irritate me.
Of course, I also constantly read books in my lap during class, so hahaha my biases are clear.
