Hi Ravi, I can't say what most fiction book stories consist of, though they *are* stories, and having made up so many stories myself, pre-realization, I may just be tired of them, whatever their intent.
Also it seems that in order to read and appreciate a story, we have to believe a story about ourselves and our lives to compare it to, and have the book story make sense. Which makes no sense to me. --- In [email protected], "Ravi Yogi" <raviyogi@...> wrote: > > An excellent point Jim, I don't read any fiction either, in fact no > books at all for a long time now - though I occasionally watch movies on > cable, mostly comedy or romance, but I totally agree on your observation > here. > I find most fiction involves an unhappy or imperfect situation, either > personal or social, and a lack of fulfillment of the characters until > the external situation is resolved which I find highly unpalatable and > quite silly.
