Do You Read Fiction? Or Not?

D.P. in Shelby, Michigan:

I don’t read any novels. I just can’t get into someone else’s imagination.  All books have to be non-fiction. Do you have any idea why I am this way? 

Marilyn responds:

I think you’re likely an inquisitive, analytic, rational person who has little interest in fantasy. It’s not that you can’t get into someone else’s imagination; it’s that you find the experience boring. In short, you’re stimulated by learning, not by observation.
