<< I disagree with the statemet. We also learn and enjoy a lot from fiction books. Of course books based on real events are attractive because they stir up our curiousity about history. But non-fiction books are also attractive because we humans are creatures who have an imagination. As for books, however they based on real events, they are written by some people. So I guess even fiction books include an imagination to some extent. At first, I want to think about merits of reading only fiction books. Because they are describing real things, we can get correct imformation from them. If we read only non-fiction books, creations of someone else, that might harm our minds to see and think about real events. It is good to read and learn many real things, especially history of our ancestors, from fiction books. But we are creatures who have imaginations. We can create various things with our brains. Furthurmore, what our ancestors have imagined are now become practical things. Many scientists have imagined things which seemed to be impossible at first. For example, who can imagine an iron mass can fly in the air? But our great fathers created an iron cluster which can fly, now we call it an airplane. And who can at first expect that we are coded with only four kinds of DNAs, deoxyribo nucleic acids. Most things available now are imaginations of someone else in the past. But such imaginations become true, practical things now. So I think it is important for us to read non-fiction novels and stir up our imagination as well as reading just practical books.
