I'm just the opposite. I read fiction, first because I enjoy it and also because I learn a lot. I've read quite a bit of non-fiction in my life and much of it was useful. But I've learned much more from fiction.

All in all I think there's more truth in fiction than in non-fiction. Not facts, but truth!

By the way, I suspect I do have a bit of Aspergers.
