However, I find that a steady diet of only fiction can be limiting, which is why I sprinkle in a few bios and historic works along the way. "John Adams" by David McCullough, for example, reads like a great sweeping novel, and Doris Chang's "The Rape of Nanking" is just shattering and made me really feel how brutal war can be for civilians, unlike any fictional work I'd ever read about war.
