    Whilst i think happiness derived from fiction is real, I would refrain from letting it be my only source of happiness.

    I could think of a million things in the world that i would like to do if I hade the resources to do them. None of them are fictional. But i can experience a glimpse of them through fiction.

      I agree on the first part, I am unsure about the meaning of the second one. Reading a book is for me a great source of happiness, and I wouldn’t completely replace it even given infinite resources.

        I mean that there are people who (none named, none forgotten), have a tendency to get lost in fiction and forget about reality. I mean that there is more to gain by deriving happiness from something real.
