Difference Between Fiction and Nonfiction
The term โfictionโ refers to literature that is based on the authorโs imagination. Fiction genres include mysteries, science fiction, romance, fantasy, chick lit, and crime thrillers. Harper Leeโs To Kill a Mockingbird, Charles Dickensโ A Tale of Two Cities, George Orwellโs 1984, and Jane Austenโs Pride and Prejudice are examples of classic literature. In addition, our Fiction Department has a wide collection of DVDs of recent movies and television shows.
The term โnonfictionโ refers to literature that is founded on facts. It is the most inclusive literary genre. Biography, business, cooking, health and fitness, pets, crafts, home decorating, languages, travel, home renovation, religion, art and music, history, self-help, true crime, science, and humour are just a few of the topics covered in the Nonfiction Department. We also have a section of award-winning and famous documentary DVDs.
