"FICTION or NONFICTION?... that is the question!"
New Article in this months Scientific American Mind that says fiction Readers are more sociable than nonfiction readers. Interesting study because my youngest is a big fiction reader and she was voted the friendliest by classmates.
Says its because you are better able to relate to each character and therefore are able to accept a difference in perception by another due to a clearer understanding of what they may be feeling. It also opens up a wider dialogue approach to multiple situations. Most people respond to others based on dialogue experience. Certainly with the media these days and television those dialogues..HA! are very limited.
Lets just spray them..then they'll act like we want them to....KIDDING...
Nice READS this month...

"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things." Phillippians 4:8
"What I think about expands in my perception of life."
