I've met my share of people who self-righteously proclaim, "I don't have time to read fiction. It's just a waste of my time because I only want to read things that are real."
I don't bother arguing with such people, for smart people know that fiction can often reveal truths that nonfiction can't. Rivka Galchen and Pankaj Mishra explain.
Moreover, recent neurological research has shown the value of reading fiction.
