Everybody has their styles they enjoy more than others. But I do feel it is not good to completely disregard fiction. Fiction is great for helping give perspective. Maybe look for the “popcorn” type books? The ones that don’t really have plot twists or any big surprise. Or just read the spoilers about the crazy plot twists? Mysteries aren’t for everyone.

For years I only read non-fiction, I enjoyed learning pieces of many different things. But I lacked the context to put them together. My friends started calling me the “parade of facts”. Reading fiction has helped me put these “facts” into better context. It also helped me realize most people don’t like listening to a parade of facts. But in the end, what you read is up to you.
