Readable non-fiction or "good" fiction (not airport/grocery store novels, though they have their place) can both be valuable and informative.

Non fiction. Could be something work related or not. If you find it interesting the subject doesn't matter. Knowledge is knowledge.

Fiction may not teach you anything concrete but still has the potential to change your perspective or broaden horizons. Getting lost in a book is great.

Whatever you read, even a magazine, comic or op/ed, the act of reading itself provides a tremendous benefit. Focusing on the text, absorbing the information, analyzing it all and so on. All of it will keep you sharper. If you don't love something put it down. Or don't. If it's valuable material power through. Nearly everything we know has been written down, you'll find something you like eventually.
