"Fiction just doesn't reach me the way nonfiction does."

"Even when nonfiction tries to be engaging by using personal narratives, I often lose patience with the details and just want the writer to get to the abstract point."

What kind of writing reaches you?
Fiction, because of the concrete details about people and things.
Fiction, when it conveys valuable abstract ideas.
Nonfiction, when there is concrete detail about people and things.
Nonfiction, when there are valuable abstract ideas.
