Good fiction fills a hole in my heart like nothing else I know. It is a way to feel as wide a gamut of emotions as any. It demands nothing from me except the trust to see it through. I don't feel guilt for reading guilt. I don't hate fiction for compelling me to stay up after reading it. I am not jealous when other people enjoy the same fics I do - nothing is too "mainstream", or alternately, too obscure. My love of reading is an uncomplicated love. The term that comes to mind is "agape", for the feeling of contentment and holding in high regard. Also known as the religious love, love of one's children, the love of a good meal.
