Could. not agree with you more. ALL reading / writing is important. I always talk about my commercial novels standing alongside the non-fiction works on the same topic. We all read differently, so we as writers are responsible for writing works that speak to our diverse audiences. Thank you for your post, and for including my own stories in your journey.

Yes, to fiction! I remember reading something about people who read fiction regularly, score, much higher on empathy, as a result of being able to imagine themselves in other people's stories, that alone is surely a most important reason for reading fiction :)
