Usually, I do not read fiction books that include the the theme of politics. The reason for this is that I think these types of books try to give the reader a political lesson, which bothers me a little bit.

Very true. You just described me. I am not interested in politics at all. Even though if am to read a book and it has a political aspect I will just continue reading since I don't like stopping in the middle of reading a book.Amagine wrote:I don't like politics in my books at all.

Stories tackling politics can be very informative but depending on the author's style and the reader, can also be quite a chore to read.
I've read books (The Witcher Saga and Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow) that wonderfully incorporate politics into stories with very interesting themes, and I'd go for books like these rather than those that deal with just politics.
I stand firm with my political beliefs but I welcome books with a contrasting opinion, especially if I can learn something new from it.

Less politics.
