Absolutely true. I've been buying a lot of non-fiction these days and was starting to fee guilty about it. Yes, there are some books that helped me clear my head a lot, but the rest was just waste of money. I too need to go back to fiction. Thanks for the reminder!

We've all been there my friend! If you like Fantasy novels I would recommend The name of the wind, it's a masterpiece!

Posting an emphasized YES here because I can’t like the post multiple times. You hit the nail on the head with this one.

I'm glad this resonated with you Rebekah! Just sharing some of my thoughts, that's all.

This resonates with me. Really hard to keep up with the reading. Though there is a lot of good advice in non fiction books it’s not always as easy to apply in real life. I still see the value, but finding a good balance is hard.

I’d say history books are the only non-fiction category I’d exclude from this argument - they’re basically like great fiction, jam-packed with inspiration, life lessons etc.
