Huh I feel like that’s a little strange. You might know someone but just never talked about it? Maybe introduce your non fiction friends to some fiction idk

Well your dad sounds like a moron. Fiction is amazing. Plus there’s nothing wrong with being entertained. Most logical people know there’s nothing wrong with reading fiction. Idk what’s up with your dad

Your dad is a fool. Fiction is often the best vehicle for a deep message. There is a reason history's greatest writers are most renowned for their novels; fiction allows you to construct the perfect psychological laboratory to test ideas. You can create an idealistic scenario to convey a message much more profoundly than a dry non-fiction history ever could.
