What do you guys get out of reading literature though? I love to read, and I read a ton, but 99% of what I read is non-fiction, how can any fictional book teach you anything, why is it a sign of intelligence? why do you think you are smarter for having read The Great Gatsby, other than being able to answer some trivia questions once in awhile? If Im reading fiction, its for nothing else but enjoyment.

You don't understand the concept and function of art. Illumination of the human condition is a good beginning.
