For the first Featuring My Thoughts post, I'm talking about why I prefer fictional books.
When I say books, I mean novels- most of the time.
I escape reality.
Of course- it's fiction. In fictional books, the author can make anything happen. The author can make the characters fly, kiss, hug, write, read, talk-- anything. It's fictional. Anything is possible.
You cannot find most fictional men in real life.
I'm not referring to like, the actual Agustus Waters or Maxon Schreave, but their character. What they do, how they react. Well you might find an Agustus or Maxon, but they're very rare. I'm not saying that true love is rare, in fact it isn't. True love isn't only in fictional characters, because true love is not fiction. (Okay, I'm getting dramatic.) The Fault in Our Stars in real life is rare, really. I'm not saying that two teens should have the EXACT same cancer as Hazel and Agustus to have that story, but having cancer and falling in love and then one dies and they have this author connection. Just something like that. But that's gonna be a big miracle.
I like- I mean, love dystopian books.
Of course- dystopian is automatically fiction. And dystopian romance books are like about "how the lovebirds would survive or escape their ugly and/or unfair world" or "how two people would survive or escape their ugly and/or unfair world together and eventually fall in love". It's just that more things could happen. It's like contemporary plus. I also love fantasy. Same reason. It's not that I'm lazy to copy-paste the whole thing and change all the dystopian's to fantasy, but it would be really, really, redundant.
And this might be cheesy, you find new lives in fictional books. Because nonfiction books are like- past already, so nothing's new.
I MIGHT read nonfiction sometime, that's the reason why I prefer fictional books. (extra emphasis to prefer, please! ) There are always exceptions, whatever happens.
