Is it just me?

Okay, maybe this scenario would offer a better perception of what I’m trying to get across: If you were asked to pick a better book, Night by Elie Wiesel Vs. Kite Runner or A child called IT(or its sequel The Lost Boy) by Dave Pelzer Vs. Catcher in the Rye(which is a classic) by J.D. Salinger, which would you pick?

I’m sure a majority of people would agree that the non-fiction books are better because the fact that the details in the book actually occured in real life adds all the more that enthralling feeling you get while reading a book whether it be sympathy for the mass amount of people that got executed at the camps in Night or the little child that had to put up with his mother’s abuse for years in A child called It.

Again, I don’t hate to read and I’m not saying you can’t learn anything from fictional novels but you can learn all you can get from a ficitonal novel in a non-fiction book and maybe even more.
