Well, I read a lot of old stuff - history, essays, philosophy, diaries. It's like travelling in time. Experiencing life in ancient Greece (e.g. Plutarch, Herodotus) or China; medieval Japan; 16-17th C France (Montaigne, La Bruyere), 19th C England (Hazlitt) etc etc. Non-fiction actually allows us to "peek into thousands of other such realities", not just imagined "realities". (I get a similar effect chatting with my friends in many countries, only all the different time zones can get quite disorienting!)
