Why do I have to read books to get a better understanding of cultures, philosophies or lifestyles? In my opinion you can just as easily learn that through articles, talking to people and documentaries, not through the fiction I might be reading.

I've actually learned more about different cultures and topics and such due to having to research things for my fanfics than through books I've picked up to read for pleasure.

This to some extent. I'm not going to take a freaking novel as an authority on another culture. As impetus to do my own research, sure, but for the novel itself the possibility of 'artistic license' is too high.

Oh yes. Except that a lot of people internalize the artistic license version without bothering to check into the facts for themselves. Sometimes published novels broaden your horizons, but in the wrong directions.
