[quote=Anonymous] Remember the old psychological study where the subject looks at a picture and is asked to describe what he could see from various vantage points in the scene? Some people have a tough time doing this. When you read fiction, you are taking on the viewpoint of another and "living" through the character's eyes. People who do this regularly have more practice in imagining what other people's lives are like. I can think of some world leaders who probably read very little fiction, and it shows! [/quote]
