He reads fiction

>he reads fiction

Even non-fiction is fiction to some extent.

I don't think you understand the point of reading, it isn't just fact-collection. It's intellectual, not just meant to absorb knowledge. Fiction is better in that sense than non-fiction is.

>reading in a cafe
>just some poetry collection
>a girl recognizes me from the past
>hey user what are you reading
>just the collected poems of manuel bandeira
>she immediately blushes
>o-oh i love him...

Thank you, based rat face.

>he reads under any pretext beyond personal enjoyment

Porra, anão, conta o resto

>he doesn't read fiction

You're like the balding 20 year old "future intellectual" engineering students who only read shmoop articles on Asimov, but worse.

>they waste their time reading about some made up world by some delusional faggot
might as well go watch some anime, play vidya and gtfo of Veeky Forums cancer

>implying non-fiction isn't always some political message spread some delusional author.
What can non-fiction convey that fiction can't? Real emotions? Barely, it is all just words.

>it is all just words.
Proper history books, not historical fiction. Well-written, well-researched, informative books.

So non-fiction is good. You can also still read fiction, because both are good genres.

Get, BTFO'd.
