I gave up reading fiction a long time ago in the early 1980s. I just felt that stories were a waste of time and learning about things was more enjoyable and far more important.

The only fiction I've read since then was a reread of 1984 by George Orwell, in order to compare it to current times.

fiction is a decent palette cleaser inbetween dry works

actually bothered to start reading lovecraft recently and its rather refreshing, even though his shorter works are kinda samey, and his earlier stories are a different kind of samey.

not sure if people actually talked like that or he raped six gorillion thesauruses to get his unique blend down.

Not all non-fiction is dry though. It depends on the topic and the author. Also the time it was written and the audience it targets.
