I’ve always loved fiction and make myself read at least one non-fiction book for every 10 fiction books I read. I now love non-fiction because i only read the really good ones, but I find that I read a lot more slowly. I’m well into my 40s with family, I find I like the easy fun reads more than I used to. I think fiction is like an escape from the craziness and stress of the everyday.

I now know why my parents only ever wanted to watch comedy and no heavy movies, I think it’s the same reason of just needing an escape.
