Read whatever
In every story, there’s a lesson.
In fiction, you need to find out what the lesson is for yourself. Nonfiction, instead, spoon-feeds you the lesson.
Most lessons from nonfiction are sticky; most of the ones from fiction are transformative.
And that, in a nutshell, is why you should read both.
