But one thing is for sure, we can't be escaping with stories that touch on so many reality planes, each book gives us something to which we then go forward and then apply to our own lives. So it cannot be escaping when you're trying to make sense of things... wether it be in a physics journal or im my case the saga of a super intelligent 6 y.o.
no?

True. Not everybody reads to escape all the time. I love true crime stuff for the same reason I love to watch slasher movies. They make me feel ever so much better about my own life. I think of them not so much as an escape, as a perspective device.
