However the rest of your post - which seems to imply that you think literature is primarily about conveying information in much the same way as non-fiction - simply confirms what I said earlier: you are ignorant as to the purposes and functioning of it.

You know, it's really pointless to converse with such a thoughtless human. The purpose of all literature is the same as non-fiction obviously—to convey information, and therefore to learn, whether it be about the uses of the various parts of the sperm whale in Moby Dick, or to gain insight into the motives of a murderous mindset as in Father Brown. It is not to sit and look at all the pretty words, which seems to be your only motive for picking up a book. If you aren't picking up a book to learn, then don't bother reading at all. You're just wasting your time just as you've wasting my time throughout this thread.
