back on topic. Has anyone TRIED the recipe and how did it taste?

[toReasonWhy]

No, I never said it does not improve language skills. I just said it doesn't *only* help with language.

Yes, definitely, the same is true for great movies. Bergman, Coppola, Kubrick, Kurosawa, etc, we do not idolize them just because they entertain us. They change us.

Since you disregard novels as intellectually useful because they "aren't even based on actual events," I am assuming you have no use for the imagination--which, incidentally, is the root of science--so let's be done talking.

The same could be said for the words in a movie. First you say it doesn't improve language skills, then you say it helps improve an individuals' speaking skills. Don't those go hand in hand? Seems like a contradiction! I am certainly not saying I know everything, but I believe studying science would improve a person's knowledge of life in general much better than a novel, which isn't even based on actual events. At the same time, I am sure novels couldn't hurt.

because people enjoy hearing the words he arranged for people to say on a stage. It's because people are actually changed by those words.

[toReasonWhy]

pass the time, nor does it help only with ones skills at language. Good fiction is actually, sincerely effective at improving an individual in intelligence, in skill, in understanding, in self confidence, in speaking skills and in generally being an interesting person who has a fulfilling life. This is why schools teach fiction from youth to university. This is why Shakespeare is internationally adored. It's not just

[toReasonWhy]

my bottom dollar that if we could measure the number of people who read what is called literary fiction and then measure that same group of peoples IQs, or debating abilities, or written abilities, or salaries, or whatever measure of intelligence you prefer, the correlation would be powerful. I could go on for pages about why learning and valuing science alone is a dangerous way to live life. I could go on for just as long about the inverse situation.

Fiction is not just stories created to

[toReasonWhy]

you read bad novels. But to address your point properly I need to get specific with terms. We are talking about what makes one an intellectual. The intellect is the capacity of the human mind to know about the world. Without getting into epistemology and what it means to know, I would argue that neither science nor reading alone is sufficient to claim intelligence. Certainly, extensive knowledge of science is also a strong indicator of intelligence, just like fiction. I would also bet

[toReasonWhy]

My main response to your question is that I was being tongue-in-cheek because the person to whom I was responding became accusatory based on a meager presumption. So I felt like doing the same thing in turn to him/her. Taste of his own medicine, &c.

That aside, youre wrong that fiction is only a pastime. Reading fiction is only a pastime to people who read the wrong fiction. Youre absolutely right that the number of novels you read could mean nothing at all, especially (but not only) if ...

[shellylanette]

I am not agreeing or disagreeing, but I really do wonder why some people judge intellect on how many novels one has read. Shouldn't it be based on more scientific knowledge, rather than fiction past-time reading? I do know that reading anything helps with language in many ways, but I really would like to know why anyone would base intellect on novels.

I can't see how this came from the Food Network, the quality is horrible, and the sound is worse.
