Do you read fiction? I stopped when I realized I simply didn’t enjoy it, and I think that’s because I don’t see the scenes.

- JshWright 5y agoI listen to fiction audiobooks (I love reading physical non-fiction books, but can't do that for fiction). I can certainly still enjoy the plot of a fiction story, but yeah, the fact that my experience of stories told through text/audio is apparently really limited is sad...
- NateEag 5y agoI do. I love reading fiction and got through thousands of fiction books in my teens. My experience of it is quite different from most, as I have come to understand. I never understood what people meant when they said "That character in the movie didn't look at all like I imagined him." I always thought they just meant "I don't think the movie makers came up with a good version." I did try my hand at writing fiction once, and I was boggled at how hard it was to do something like write a military skirmish. I was sketching maps and trying to work out topography and all kinds of details. Now that I know people can visualize the scene then describe it, well... my difficulties make a lot more sense.
