Do you ever feel looked down upon by other readers for "not reading enough non-fiction"?

Post Body

I would say that 90% of the books I read are fiction. Some of the book circles I have found myself in lately have made condescending comments about the fact that I primarily read fiction or "airport novels". I sometimes get the impression they feel they are true Readers® while someone like myself is just indulging in cute but trite made up stories.

I have no issues with non-fiction and would like to read more of it, I just like being told a good story 😕

Reading is healthy for the brain regardless of if it’s fiction or nonfiction.
