A good way to classify stories might be by what possibilities they help you ignore
Religious mythologies: there is no afterlife
Romance: there is no one true love
Science fiction: some limits may be unsurpassable
Comedy: life is not very funny on average
Conversation
Fantasy: the past really sucked
Dickens: life has no story
Horror: much of life lacks intense emotional texture

How does this work if a person mostly doesn't like fiction, except for the occasional piece that helps them accept new uncomfortable truths?
