fiction readers
People reading novels
Fiction readers are people who read novels, short stories, and other imaginative literature as a regular habit or identity.
The term distinguishes those drawn to made-up narratives from readers of nonfiction, technical material, or poetry.
Fiction readers often prefer certain genres—romance, mystery, literary fiction.
The phrase sometimes carries a slight defensive pride, as reading fiction for pleasure has periodically needed justification against claims of frivolity.
