Happy Monday! I'm posting my Friday Puzzler that should have been posted Friday, today instead because I simply forgot to post it on Friday. Uuugggh!
Being the literary scholar that I am -LOL!!!, in all my 42 years, I can count on one hand the number of books I've read, besides those I was forced to read in the 4th grade by my beloved teacher, Mrs. Casey. I will never forget how disappointed in me she was when she found all of my unread library books shoved up under my desk to hide them from her because I hated to read. . . .
ok, out of digression and back to the puzzlement . . . I have always wondered why in the world would "they" decide to call a made-up story FICTION, and a true story NON-FICTION? That has always sounded very backward to me. Is it just me, or have you felt this way too?
A good example of non-fiction would be this biography of Lucille Ball's life. I have read this.
A good example of fiction would be this wonderful classic, To Kill a Mockingbird. I have read this as well.

Funny you should bring this up. I remember as a child wondering why they called true stories NON anything. It just didn't make sense in my mind. Why can't they just call it REAL or TRUE or something like that? You got me.
