Some people much prefer non-fiction and to read about the real world, and that's totally fine. No one can police or judge a reading preference.

But since you wrote here, keep this in mind : writing stories is something absolutely beautiful that humans do.

Remember that a human wrote that book, a human wrote that movie or tv script. Pouring emotions and showing what it means to be human into someone else's mind is so incredible.

That's why I love reading.Reading makes us more human and more empathetic because of this.

By the way, Star Trek has caused so many INTENSE debates (that spanned years) in my family about ethical and moral situations that could never happen on earth. And that's amazing 😅 so even fantasy can make you question your own humanity.

Enjoy whatever you like reading, fiction or not, but fiction will always have incredible value in my eyes.
