I don't mean enjoyment, I mean absorption. That's where we probably differ. I basically only read non fiction.

I'm like 75% non-fiction. Actually a good pairing of fiction and non-fiction has helped me with absorption. For example, I thoroughly recommend people read Snow Crash alongside The Sovereign Individual. Snow crash is a literal imagining of mid-stage socioeconomic consequences of Mogg's futurist ideas. The ideas of hyper-balkanized ideogical/economic enclaves are front and center in the first chapters of Snow Crash's narrative.
And my latest pairing is gonna be funny. Frankenstein is all about the involuntary existence as a socially isolated monstrosity, and it will be playful to see how he could apply Carnegie's ultra-positive, people-pleasing philosophy to his raging, resentful existence.
