Debugging Your Brain

by Casey S Watts

Reading fiction helps you imagine how other people think. Fiction books give you the opportunity to peer inside another person’s mind. Often, their thoughts and feelings are different or at least articulated differently than you would experience in a similar situation. From reading, you get to see how the characters deal with situations, how they interact with others, and the results of those interactions.

This is one of the reasons that I read literary fiction - social knowledge.
