A fiction or a non-fiction? ... What suits you better?  

Lolzzzz That was my funniest remark of the day. Yeah, there are certain things that we would rather have happened to others. Fiction is always a dependable means of entertainment, whether it takes you in or out of the reality.
Thanks so much for such a sincere response
God bless you

Refer to post 3.. right above

Hi kitty,
When I read scriptures I just read them as if I am reading non-fictions. Everything to me is information to which we, the readers have to make some conclusion and then assimilate it. That is exactly what we do in our real life don't we? What is the use of memory? You should remember a certain event until you reach in a definite and positive conclusion. Once the conclusion is reach, the memory is erased, the conclusion stays, for life long. Once our mistakes are known, they are not mistakes anymore, they become education. The same thing applies to books. We need to find the essence, the extract of it, which we keep with us as long as we live.
Thanks once again for your invaluable contribution.
God bless you

Hello my friend

This is so true, I recently responded to a discussion similar to your response, it took me a while to get to this point but there are so many lessons to be learned for some sooner than others, I was a late bloomer I guess, I always knew these things unfortunately I did not have the right resources to explain it to me in a way that I could understand back then, oh well I am there now so there is no turning back.

Thanks my friend.

I think you need a hug right now

Hello Carmen,
Welcome to myLot. There you've unveiled a psychological trait which we all share. When we do something important the fragments of our mind is suddenly pulled together and focused on the job. When we work for hours we strain our mind by constantly focusing into things. Now, when you are done with this job your mind will ask for something that is exactly the reverse. Then you take a fiction and start reading it and your mind wanders away. Its completely liberated and flows along with the fantasy, wherever the author wants you to be. And when you return you feel quite revitalized. Thats the beauty of fiction. It feels like you are quite an avid reader. I am glad to have your contribution in the discussion.
God bless you

Hello,
I absolutely agree. In order to make a fiction sound like real, the authors have to do a lot of study. These studies are actually based on some informative discussions on some other resources, especially non-fiction. Authors always prefer to do these research on the places, people and the entire backdrop. I personally went through couple of books on History and Architecture before writing a stuff.

Hi Gogiermage,
I too believe that fiction is awesome. Hey, what you told me reminds me of what one of my friends said. When I asked him to read a book newly published. He denied politely saying, "Ohh, common, I will just see the movie instead"..LolzzzHe was quite sure that some producer is gonna take the script and make a movie of it. He preferred to wait until then. I know its sounds confusing because you can never get the taste of a book from the movie that is based on the same book. I am so glad to know that you understand the difference and give importance to both of them, separately.
God bless you

Correct answer

Hi,
You know Mandeep, your words reminds me of the greatest adventure story I've ever read. Its about a sailor named Robinson Crusoe. This book changed my whole perspective of life. I loved this book so damn much, that I am still keeping it as if its some mystic article or a treasure vault. Adventure stories always boosts your testosterone. But novels like Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe has added wisdom that is quite capable of modifying and then changing your life, slowly, but surely.

Hello,
I absolutely agree. The things we see in our everyday life are the same things that we read about. Still they seem quite magical and the conjurer is of course the author himself. You have rediscovered a quite vital feature of fiction, where the inanimate things seem to throb with life, the familiar places sounds unknown and the usual and ordinary things looks exotic. There lies the true beauty of creative writing. Thanks for such a wonderful comment.
God bless you

Hello,
Novels usually have a sense of completeness. It is the entire story of something, beginning from the start of something and ends when it ends. But, a short story often leaves you unsatisfied. You wish the story could go a little longer. That sense of incompleteness is the essence of short story. I also read books of psychology, philology, history, though I am originally from and engineering background.
Thanks for the response

I do some educational reading too

Yeah, the main point is, you can get very precise and condensed form of knowledge from those books. A few pages of reading can flood you with millions of useful pieces of information.

Hi,
Yeah, and it totally carries you away from the reality. A well written fiction keeps you so much engaged in reading that you often start thinking as if you are one of those characters. It is a great manipulation, which can only happen if you let yourself loose enough.
Thanks for the response
Take care
