Melusine, seriously, I've read heaps of novels and they have interested me, and often been entertaining, but I honestly prefer a book that will really teach me something. People use books in different ways. For those who want a brief escape from the real world or just something light to pass the time, your average novel is fine, I've read a lot of them myself. I'm just saying my personal preference goes out to something educational. I admit I'm quite insatiable when it comes to learning in that way; I've read atlases and studied encyclopaedias, on top of books about the aforementioned subjects. I really feel that I've come out a more knowledgeable person at the end of the day. Since when is that a bad or surprising thing?
