Thoughts on Reading My Favs

So, I just have to vent a little on another mini-dilemma in my life. I love reading books, especially fiction. I've read the HP's like 4 times, the Twilight books (guilty pleasure), and the Hunger Games series more times than I'm prepared to admit. I was just about to begin the Hunger Games again but I've become extremely conflicted about it. Is reading fiction just a waste of time? I spend hours laying in the same position or sitting in the same position and although I get a little satisfaction from these stories, what do I really gain from it? Maybe my reading skills improve slightly but I think that's about it. 

Another thing that bugs me is the experience of reading a book. With my older kindle, the internet, my phone, and my kindle fire, I've been reading almost entirely on a screen for the past few years. Really though, there's no competition between those things and reading a real, crisp book. I love being able to look at my book and see how far I've come or smelling the pages of a new book that's mine. I like keeping the books I've read so I can lend them to friends and family or reread them again again. But, unless I want to go to the library, I'll most likely stick to the headache-creating e-readers and online content. (Wouldn't be opposed to the library as much if I didn't have to deal with the bih that was so mean to me when I went in to get my library card. Seriously. Aren't librarians supposed to be nice cheerful old ladies that are willing to help you with anything?)

So now, I dunno what I'm going to do. I want to keep reading my favorites or find a new entertaining fiction novel but I feel like I should be reading biographies or books that will actually help me in my life. What to do, what to do. What do you think?
