Fiction is Good For You?
The classics (Pride and Prejudice, A Tale of Two Cities are my most recent classic have-reads for my Goodreads reading challenge), have always been a stumbling block for me and often I am tempted to give them less stars than they deserve just because I "didn't get it". If not for the Reading Challenges, I'd just shelve them under the did-not-finish shelf.
But I know, as George Castanza would say, "it's me not you." In my case, it's me and not the book.
After all, these books have been and will be around a lot longer than I.
So this recent article (http://blog.theliteracysite.com/ficti...), inspired me to keep reading those hard to read fiction books. Seems they help you become a more empathetic person, a more broad minded person.
Well, I kind of already knew that, but here science proves it.
On another note, just finished Clusters: The Case of the Missing by T.M. Williams. Talk about page turner! Look for my review next week.
