Fiction v non-fiction

No,

Some books are a lot better than others.

I find fiction impossible to read, something in my head just feels like it’s a waste of time.. Anyone else experience this? I find it interesting that my brain is wired this way

If I were to guess, you enjoy reading non-fiction because it’s straightforward. Right or wrong, someone is directly feeding you information. You’re going in already having chosen to consume what you’re being fed. On the other hand, good fiction is intentionally obfuscating the point it’s trying to make in an attempt to challenge you into looking at something from a point of view you might not have otherwise. Fiction might make you uncomfortable because it’s inherently unmoored, and you never know exactly what you’re getting yourself into until you’re already chest deep.

I think great fiction can teach us more than non-fiction. You should try to lessen this bias and give it more of a chance!
