Lots of
people
 prefer to read
books
 based on
facts
, but stories of authors' creations are more popular nowadays. Mainly because peoples are tired of the real world or they do not want to fill their free time with everyday
facts
.
Firstly
, these days
people
 are more aware of news, events, and
facts
 due to facilitation caused by the advent of the internet.
In other words
,
people
 can find any information only by googling it.
Thus
,
people
 are less interested in
books
 that are based on real events than fictional
books
.
For example
, hundred years ago, if an individual wanted to know about news, the only way he could find it was by reading newspapers, but nowadays news can be found easily, so
people
 do not take their time to read newspapers.
Secondly
, to live in good condition, lots of effort is needed so
people
 need to work and study as hard as they can.
This
 situation demonstrates that
people
 need hubbies for coping with
this
. Reading
books
 is one of the best hubbies that someone can have, and most
people
 do not read
books
 about
facts
 in their free time. Most of them think that never can reading a fact-based book be a hubby. As a full-time student who is going to classes 20 hours a week and
read

 a lot of academic
books
 for the classes, I do not want to fill my free hours with nonfiction
books
. As a personal opinion, I prefer to read
books
 based on myths and fictional stories
instead
 of reading
books
 which are about
facts
 and actual events, because these stories help me to relax after

 day of studying.
Although
 fact-based
books
 are vital for improving society and developing in different aspects of life, fictional
books
 are more popular these days for helping
people
 to live in good condition in conjunction with boosting their morale.
