>better

Better how? For what purpose? This question is essentially meaningless.

Are non-books better than books? You decide.

>>9655523

One of these two is a genre of the other.

Some might say yes, some might say no

Be honest, you just wanted to use that picture

Nah, I wanted to ask this question to this board. I always write the post first and do the captcha right after, I just happen to save cool pictures so I can improvise a pick as the last step

Id rather not but oh well

Everything is fiction

Fiction is fun because it's escapist and allows the author to play out thoughts and concepts that either can't happen or have not happened in the real world.


Non fiction is great because it's somewhat more grounded in reality, besides historical bias, and allows you to understand the context of the world around you. If you want to be an author it would be good to read biographies about authors. If you feel dumb at not knowing classical history, start with the greeks. If you want to learn how the brain works, read psychological and neurological studies.


Both have pros and cons and provide the reader with different information. Whats the point in asking the question? Why did I fall for the bait?
