Fiction is fun because it's escapist and allows the author to play out thoughts and concepts that either can't happen or have not happened in the real world.

Non fiction is great because it's somewhat more grounded in reality, besides historical bias, and allows you to understand the context of the world around you. If you want to be an author it would be good to read biographies about authors. If you feel dumb at not knowing classical history, start with the greeks. If you want to learn how the brain works, read psychological and neurological studies.

Both have pros and cons and provide the reader with different information. Whats the point in asking the question? Why did I fall for the bait?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jun 19 20:24:22 2017 No.9656807 >>9656219 I simply asked if one is better than the other, damn. I think you got lost here or something. So I guess this means 'No' huh?
