I fear when reading a fiction that my reality orientation will get affected. For example, I like my facts to be straight! I would think that if I were to read fiction, one after the other, I would need to take a break and research the "facts" presented in the narrative. That would take up alot of time, especially if time if pressed.
I thought then, I would probably do not too bad with Michael Crighton's Next, since it has to do with science, but I am not all too updated on the reseach in regards to genetic advances, so I feel I can't read it unless I research first.
Is this sort of fiction avoidance justified?
