Well put that Tone
Being a bloke
I also used to read fact only. It's amazing how many songwriters don't value the
art of writing a fictional book, and that amazes me. So many see fiction as a waste of time when you could be learning something real.
I think quite the opposite myself. These's a world of material to be imbibed by allowing yourself to be taken into the fantasies
of someone else. Every story is a trip and the benefit it can have in refining the quality of language that you are able to manipulate
becomes more evident the more you read.
