Fiction or non-fiction?
If you were to raise an individual, what do you think would be the worst - denying him/her access to fiction or denying him her access to non-fiction?
For simplicity we will define the terms as given by wikipedia:
Fiction: Fiction is story telling. More specifically, fiction is an imaginative form of narrative. Although the word fiction is derived from the Latin fingere, "to form, create", works of fiction need not be entirely imaginary and may include real people, places, and events.
Non-fiction: Non-fiction is an account or representation of a subject which is presented as fact. This presentation may be accurate or not; that is, it can give either a true or a false account of the subject in question. However, it is generally assumed that the authors of such accounts believe them to be truthful at the time of their composition.
