[quote=Anonymous]Your issue is that you just don't realize how educational fiction is. Perhaps by not reading fiction you're not able to appreciate it? As a scientist I think you could grasp the importance easily. My children learn way more from their fiction reading than any other reading. Some scientific articles and opinions for your reading pleasure. I like this line from one of the articles "Fiction may not be true, but it is the truth." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/novel-finding-reading-literary-fiction-improves-empathy/ http://www.salon.com/2013/06/15/book_nerds_make_better_decisions_partner/ http://ideas.time.com/2013/06/03/why-we-should-read-literature/ http://www.goodreads.com/author_blog_posts/3326870-the-importance-of-reading-fiction http://marccortez.com/2011/05/16/6-reasons-you-should-waste-your-time-reading-fiction/ [/quote]
