No Non-Fiction Section?
No Non-Fiction Section?
Just a request I suppose, I realize this biz is new again but it would be nice to have a Non-Fiction section to discuss, well Non-Fiction books. I think many will agree, but thats primarely what I read. Why read and made up story when you can learn about something that exists in our realm?

Re: No Non-Fiction Section?
I don't think the two can really be compared. Why watch a movie/TV show when you can watch a documentary and learn something?Why read and made up story when you can learn about something that exists in our realm?
In any case, it has helped me fall asleep easier to read a fictional book before bedtime. I always had a pretty hard time with it, because I can't switch of my mind, and I end up pondering on stuff instead of sleeping. Reading non-fiction only adds to that, since it would just keep me up thinking about the information I just absorbed.

I could open up a can of worms and argue that historical texts and non-fiction works (e.g. Maus) are still quasi-fictional.tman wrote:Just a request I suppose, I realize this biz is new again but it would be nice to have a Non-Fiction section to discuss, well Non-Fiction books.

But I'll just say that I think fiction and non-fiction are both important cultural reflections and can be equally entertaining. Certainly, "real" works (i.e. reality TV, documentaries, blogs, non-fiction essays) are the sexy modes of expression in contemporary society. I'd like a non-fiction forum as well.
