> I know that non-fiction would be "good for me." I think this depends heavily on which non-fiction, particularly when contrasted with which fiction you're currently reading. I don't think reading the same self-help books as a bunch of CEO's who see themselves as bold outsiders to the system will actually benefit you; it didn't make them self-aware. Fiction contains information and ideas; it helps you expand your horizons, and that's generally a good thing. As long as you're not reading a very limited subset of fiction, it will be beneficial.
