Do you like reading books about other people's experinces?

Well off course. Ready book about other people's experiences helps me to be able to understand people more, and why they do what do. I also gain good experience from something that I haven't come across in real life.

I don't like reading books about other people's experiences, they always seem to bore me

[Mikimo]

Sometimes reading books about other people experiences is very educational most especially if the story started from negative then turn into positive.

I find that I flip flop back and forth between genres a lot. I went through a long stretch where I didn't want to read it unless it was real and actually happened. I am in a phase now where I still read non-fiction, but I gravitate more toward fiction.

I love biographies both books and films. I think a story has a greater impact once you know it is true, that it happened to someone. You can learn many things from other peoples” experiences.

I like reading other people's experiences. I think we can learn from them. For instance, when I read about what other people do in an emergency, I get knowledge and wisdom. Or when I read about when people who traveled to places I haven't, I learn what to do and not to in that place. I think we can all get something when reading about someone's life.

Normally I go for fiction, but if it sounds interesting enough and catches my attention, I will most definitely give it a try. It can be fascinating to read something and feel relatable like you are not the only one going through "that" situation and see the differences between what you do and what the other person did.

I like reading about other people's experiences because:
1) I think that if they have decided to make a book out of their life, that life must be a very interesting one (and that happens frequently).
2) If I feel related to the narrative because my story of life is similar, it makes it easier for me to do self-reflection and to overcome similar unpleasant situations.
3) If I don't see my life reflected in that book but the narrative is still compelling, I will end up feeling happy for investing my time on reading such a great book.

I generally don't gravitate to biographies and travel logs. I much prefer fiction, whether fantasy, sci/fi or romance. I guess it is a desire to escape from the real world for a while.

I generally hesitate reading about real people because books are an escape for me too.

[mumoscar]

I like reading about what other people experience. It makes me understand the mistakes made and know how to avoid them. Their achievements are also a great encouragement.

[Karen0823]

I do love reading about other people's experiences. It either makes me feel not so alone or it provides insight to things I've never before considered.

[dhwanis]

It is all about relatability and narration. If I can relate to it and/or enjoy the narration and the storytelling style I would love to read it.

[Leonidas Ndeta]

I enjoy reading about other people's experiences because I can gain something valuable from it that can help me take a further step in life i.e story about successful people

[Oliver Ekaso]

Yes of course. Its like learning from other people's experience. Getting full results without having to pay the price.

[Wasif Ahmed]

Yes. Sometimes. I also love hearing it from them.
