Is it just me?

Rectifying a mistake from my first post, I meant to say I’ve read a lot of books, not novels, both fiction and nonfiction. Replying to jimbob1225’s suggestion, I’ve actually read Kite Runner and although the book is fictional, there are some details in the novel that the author derived from his personal life. His father WAS a well-known man in Kabul, Afghanistan, his mother WAS a teacher although she didn’t actually die at child-birth and Amir(who I think is Hosseini by the way) did move to California. Personally, I think Kite Runner is just a modified verson of Khaled Hosseini’s autobiography with embellished facts, of course. In order words, Kite Runner is a “nonfiction-fiction”.

No, I don’t hate reading. I just find over-extended fictional proses(aka novels) pointless because they serve no purpose in my life but to dream between pages at the moment…and later return to my everyday life.
