I’m a 30M, and whenever I chat with my buddies or similar age groups on books, they always gawk at fiction. Say they have no time to read it, or “why would I read something fake?”. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy non-fiction work too but I tend to gear towards novels. I just don’t get the hate, especially from dudes my age.
I would also argue that I’ve learned more about what it means to be a good person and having humility just from reading Steinbeck, than any other self-help junk that’s out there.
