Fiction books are an invented or feigned narrative (an imaginative form of narrative).[1] Fiction is one of the two most general categories in the hierarchy that books are classified in (the other being non-fiction - a composition that its authors believe to be truthful). For example, the Bible is one of the most well known works of fiction.
Fiction differs from lying because the listener knows the story isn't true.
