Guilty About Fiction

I'm not exactly sure why I feel this way, but I feel guilty about reading fiction when I could spend the time reading non-fiction. I just picked up I, Robot, to reread the Asimov classic before the movie comes out later this month. For some reason, while I extremely enjoy and appreciate fiction, I feel like in some ways that I'm wasting my time when I could be reading one of the dozens of interesting books out there now about current events or any of a number of histories, biographies or social commentaries that I have on my shelf or available to me in the fantastic public library system here in Contra Costa county. It's not like I'm losing sleep over it or anything, but it is weird that I'm even feeling anything like that at all.
