Q. Do you think that reading novels is more interesting that reading factual 
books? Why is that?
Well, there is some confusion in me about this particular issue. I actually find 
interest in reading the both types of books. When I read novels, I feel a 
different sort of pleasure. It refreshes my mind and helps me imagining the 
events before me, while sometimes I become the characters of the novels. If I 
consider the other side, reading the factual books, I also gather knowledge 
from those types of books. The factual books come with knowledge about 
different matters and facts and informs about the reality. But to be truthful, 
the interests are less than the fictional books. And I think you would agree with 
me on this point.
