ITT we discuss the inarguable FACT that fiction is, was, and always will be better than nonfiction at literally everything. This thread is for those of the fiction master flea epidemic to laugh at all the nonfiction autists.

I like the look of this young lady. She's very quietly showing there that she can hold a book, and she also cleaned that table very nicely, too. Very nice.

By that logic, your post is certainly superior on account of being fictional.

Reading fiction is reading history and philosophy for the low iq

My dad is a published nonfiction author and teaches creative nonfiction. I only read fiction and I think this makes me sad. He seemed really hurt when I told him I had no interest in nonfiction. He keeps giving me nonfiction books and recommending nonfiction authors.
I avoided reading any of his books for a long time because I was afraid I wouldn't like them (and as I said I don't read nonfiction). Finally I started one. I enjoyed the first chapter (which was fictitious/speculative in nature) but after that I got really bored. I gave up around 100 pages in. I haven't told him yet.

I don't think that would interest him. He did recommend me HHhH which is a blend of nonfiction/metafiction though.
