For me personally, fiction books seem to be the only form of media that consistently provides the feeling of somewhat understanding the human condition. I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that we create these perceptions of the characters and scenery in our heads which makes it personally compelling. Video games and Films fill in those gaps of perception which can take away from the individual's experience.

The type of fiction that you pick up is also important where quality > quantity. It's not like I pick up new books to chase that feeling of knowing how hilarious, beautiful sad the different aspects of our lives can be, but when it comes to me, it's like a burst of inspiration for my paintings.

It seems like you are trying to gain something from reading. I can confirm that it is worthwhile and that you definitely can if you are the creative type. Otherwise, just read for fun.

Oh yeah and one last thing, you sound fucking insufferable. Stop trying to find meaning in everything you do. You do realize you're allowed to enjoy things for what they are right?
