Of course… Literary fiction is way better than popcorn culture escapism popular fiction, on a serious perspective. However, I believe, on understanding others, the best books are still those nonfiction books which try to directly analyze and cut the clutter. Literary fictions are subtle and lengthy, tending to be misunderstood, but nonfiction books/articles are the most effective in conveying the knowledge. Also I can't help but feeling this study very loose.
- Misterburns 13y agoYes reading nonfiction maximizes knowledge absorption with respect to time and cost. But that is not the objective of literary fiction. Literary fiction maximizes "emotional sensation". This is a futile attribute in humans who should instead be maximizing their utility.
