Okay, I'm sure we all know that Fiction Is Good For You. But it's nice to have it confirmed by SCIENCE. Turns out fiction really does give one a better sense of empathy and justice. Fiction: it makes you a better person!

And I'm glad they added that we can also judge the actions of characters in stories. I'm always puzzled by people who cite samples of bad guy behavior as a bad influence. It's like nobody trusts kids (or adults) to know that the things done by bad guys are, y'know, BAD. Give us a little credit, dammit.
