I deeply disagree with you about the only reading fiction thing though; if there is 'pure joy' (and I disagree with you about the existence of that too) in reading a story I think that quality can equally exist in non fiction books; though, as far as narrative goes - and maybe this is your point - the two overlap greatly. I think it is surely possible to spend your life reading fiction and still remain uninformed and naive in a way which I don't think is possible if you mix in some history and politics and so on. But then I am not sure where that gets you either; in fact I have no idea what I am talking about. Story/narrative of my life that.
