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.

Of course.... its pretty much all I read anymore. Currently reading lucretius, "on the nature of things". But i dont consider fiction as a waste of time. Story telling is a great way to expand the mind and imagine.

I find non-fiction a great way to stimulate the imagination.

For instance, I read Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos and take the time to imagine how he describes things as he breaks them down into their basic elements. Many interesting ways to apply imagination to non-fiction reads and expand your mind, especially after you gain a broad understanding of things from reading up on many topics.
