It's certainly widened my world. I used to read nonfiction exclusively. Now that I'm retired, I have more time on my hands, and I'm reading about 120 books a year. I can't afford to buy all those books, so most of what I read is from Project Gutenberg. For the first time in my life I'm reading novels, biographies, memoirs and political tomes. All pre-1923 of course, but it's amazing to me to me how many things in the world haven't really changed much.
