I read about 50ish books a year and all of them are non-fiction. It’s not because I look down on fiction but mostly because I can’t seem to finish any fiction book I ever pick up.
Just this year I tried to read Musashi, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and some classic Russian novels and I can’t do it. I’m not sure why and I’m well aware of the benefits. So to an extent I imagine Sivers is similar.
- throwoutway 4y agoNot all books are written the same and I cant finish some fiction books either. But there’s some fiction that I read through very quickly
- xosset 4y agoSame here. I can't even get through Dostevsky's The Double even knowing the story sounds amazing and it isn't that long. I don't think the images play in my head as well as other people and that is not really an issue with non-fiction. With non-fiction I am just parsing the content in a sense.
- apricot13 4y agoI picked up a YA book (the skullduggery pleasant series) at my friend's house a while ago and read practically the whole thing. It was a nice fun easy read! I wasn't trying to widen my knowledge I was just reading that's my new trick to reading more non fiction! (That and stopping if I'm fed up!)
