There is no doubt fiction makes a better job of the truth. —Doris Lessing
May I go out on a limb here and declare that I am happy?
I have fears, I have sorrows, I have things that I hate, or things I am guilty about, or people who may never love me, but I’m happy. There are many benefits to reading, many of them documented in scientific studies, such as widening vocabulary, increasing concentration, activating brain functions, and improving memory. A University of Sussex research found that the power of words to take you into a literary world calms frazzled nerves and slows down the heart rate more effectively than taking a walk or listening to music or having a cup of tea.
I agree, though at some point my enhanced ability to find something that resonates with me in the characters or events I encounter in books makes it a little hard for me to distinguish between fact and fiction.
