About This Quote
More and more authors are now writing fiction and fantasy books. This has been an enormous change from the old days where the only books people read were books that were non-fiction. Science, history, politics, etc. are all very important subjects of study that are rarely discussed in fiction or fantasy books because of the limited understanding of the reader. I believe that reading fiction and fantasy books will give people an opportunity to better understand different issues. By reading these books, you will be able to better understand some of the things that’s happening in the world today.
