| highwaystar101 said: I don't really read fiction I'm afraid, as far as fiction goes I'm mostly Discworld oriented. I like books about science and nature though, I think I like to learn when I read, it's a big part of my enjoyment. At the moment I'm reading a book called "Quantum theory cannot hurt you", it's not the best book I've ever read if I'm being honest, but it's a nice introduction I suppose. I'm also reading the Qu'ran, mostly out of interest and partly to get rid of some of my ignorance about Islam. But I've broken it down into smaller portions. I don't plan on reading it all at once, I'm reading chapters inbetween other books. |
Wouldn't Quantum Physics for Dummies or Explaining "Quantum Physiscs for Dummies" be a more appropriate introduction into the field? 
Anyways, you can learn something from fiction too. It's just not gonna be something explicit. You're gonna have to interpret the text on a superior level, rather than just taking the actions that go on in the book at face value. I think that every (good) fiction author tries to communicate something to the reader, something that's more than just the sum of all the words that make up the text, and more than the actions that make up the narrative.
I also don't get why someone who's not religious would want to read a religious text? What would be the point?
