WHAT’S BETTER LISTENING IN AUDIO: FICTION? OR NON-FICTION? HOW TO? …

I was raised not to read or listen to anything that was fictitious and for 20 years I didn’t. I've even tried non-fiction audio books. Truth is, I never listened to the last two CDs. It just didn't work. True, it could be that I wasn't listening to the right author but I just couldn't get into the story. Recently, I tried reading The Innocent Man by John Grisham and couldn't get into that one either. So, after I’d had my fill of truth and reality, I decided to venture into the psyche of our world through those individuals with the ability to express their thoughts, imagination and fantasies on paper. I have been fascinated and find it continually interesting. The only non-fiction that I listen to is the news or news related programs. Fiction is my escape from reality and I’m comfortable there. So what’s your preference?

I definitely prefer fiction! I live in reality everyday. When I'm reading or listening to a story, my intent is to escape and be entertained.
