normal bookworms think of fantasy as a genre for children or teenagers.
i'm kind of where i think of *fiction* as a whole as a genre for children or teenagers. as an adult, i hardly read it.
actual history is much more interesting, but it needs to be well-written, i.e. not like the books you used in school.
in a way, fiction feels like something you only really need to consume if you're unable to make your life interesting in other ways.
there are countless better ways of spending an evening than reading a novel or watching a movie, at least if you have hobbies, friends or some curiosity about the world.
entertainment serves a purpose, but i must admit i like it best when i'm getting news or facts along with it, and not just the imagination of the author. i can make up my own fake worlds. i don't need any help with that.
@thor My nonfiction reading has convinced me that I have an obligation to read fiction.
I'm not an author, probably not going to be able to communicate how and why I'm this medium, but thought I'd mention it as I hadn't been drawn much to fiction as an adult, but my nonfiction reading has me convinced I must pursue it.
