Why do people read fiction, seriously? It didn't happen, so who gives a shit about it? It's just going to sit in your brain occupying space that could have been taken up by a good history/biography book.

I'm more interested in ideas. Who cares what happened. Do you gossip too you little bitch?

Reading the posts here is even worse.

It gives me aesthetic experiences which have inherent value

for the style
for the characters
for the perspective
it can also make you more perceptive

What a sad autistic post.

I read it so I can write it. I write it because it exercises my brain to keep track of variable characters and personalities and imagine the consequences of their interactions. Moreover, what’s my alternative? When you think about it modern non-fiction, especially history, is the most baby-tier pseudo-intellectual poison you could push through your skull. It’s always written by an author either born from or working within the corrupt echo chamber that is establishment academia, people who disregard or outright reject physical and scientific evidence, people who always have an agenda, but who feign impartiality. Non-fiction is just long-form journalism. Fiction is the purest expression of human creativity; it’s the soul on paper

>something has to happen physically for it to have value
Yea Forums isn’t the board for you, and forums aren’t the place for you either

The experiences the author the author wants to tell you and weaved into his fictional story are/were real.

escapism

It is a waste if its all you read.

True, lit is full of 15 year old marxists who dont read and are bad at writing

>reading fiction ever

Do people actually do this?

*15 year old self-proclaimed marxists

You're right. That's why I only read the Bible.

Why do people read nonfiction, seriously? It already happened, so who gives a shit about it? It's just going to sit in your brain for a few weeks and then be forgotten like everything else you learned in high school.

I don't user. I really don't know...

The holocaust didn't happen either, yet there is a swarm of books written on that subject.

take your trips back to /pol/ and stay there, thank you

Reading the sun also rises which is "fiction" right now but there's no reason I shouldn't take it seriously. The story and it's contents are very real. Recommend to all of you

So much history/biography is essentially fiction.

Nobody in these threads ever cite any worth while non fiction pieces. Did you drop your imagination?

Why do people read non-fiction, seriously? It is something that is already been recorded, so who gives a shit about it? It's just going to sit in your brain occupying space when you could've just browsed Wikipedia or some other places.

Is this your idea of fiction? lmao kys

What would havendorff be without our new aspiring hero?
