If "tired" recommends books about gaining energy, why does "lonely" not recommend books about meeting people?

  Because reading book wont reduce your loneliness.

    Is this statement always true? It's possible for some people to feel more alone in groups, especially large groups, than it is for them to feel lonely while reading a book. Maybe one of the main reasons fiction is so appealing to some people is because it does, on a certain level, combat loneliness - some things seem easier to talk about in fiction than in real life.

      You could forget about loneliness while reading a book, however it does not change fact that you reding it alone.

        sure, but loneliness and being physically alone are arguably two totally separate things.
