If a book is fiction, is it a book of lies?
for me
Not necessarily, because the author isn't telling you that whatever happens in the book is true. Most fiction books are written with the author knowing that the reader knows that it's completely false. The author is not writing
to lie, merely to entertain a group of readers. If the author, however,
clearly states that what's written in it is true, but you know it's
not, then yes, it is a book of lies.
