Nonfiction All Truth?

I think that a nonfiction book should really be all truth and there are a lot of reasons why. If a person looks through the library and sees a book and it is classified as Non-Fiction. That person is going to believe that the book has all truth. You are going to be misleading someone they are going to read a book and see that the earth is a square and then go into astronomy class or anywhere and look like an idiot. Not on that much of scale but yeah you get the point. That’s the reason Wikipedia is such a terrible site because someone can just post random information on something and someone will believe that and go on with faulty information for some time. So I believe that a book should be all truth to be considered Non Fiction

I don’t think that it was okay for Frey to bend his story and lie to all of the people who have read his story. As you can see Oprah wasn’t very happy that he had lied in his book. She said that you would get inspired from Frey’s story and what if someone did. Then they realize that most of the book is just some fake and then you just lose all motivation like that. But you can’t bend the truth in a Non Fiction. You know why they call in non-fiction. Because it’s not fiction with the made up stories because Nonfiction is real so it’s supposed to have all facts or truths in a book.

Also I agree with David Shields that there need to be lines between genres. If there isn’t you don’t really know what you like to read you pick up a book and you don’t even know what genre it is. You don’t know if its Fantasy or Nonfiction. You can’t even specify what kind of book you like to read someone would say what’s your favorite book and you would just answer the one with paper. There is no specify in books and that’s what you need to make a book a book.
