I have read a book other than fiction. I do not do that. usually find them boring. I need some level of escapism when reading a book
I’m the reverse. I read nothing but self-help, self-improvement books. Trying to psych myself to read a fiction novel next because I do agree with the escapism benefits that novels bring. I do not need to be productive 24/7

Sometimes you need a bit of distance and there's often a lot of truth in a good story.
If you haven't read it, try The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. I saw it recommended on Reddit and IMO it was a very good read.
