Once upon a time there was a castle in a place that doesn't exist. That contained princes and princesses that don't exist. One day a unreal prince rescued a princess that was just made up for this story from a nonexistent dragon. How about I tell a story that could actually happen?... okay.
Once upon a time there was a guy named Fred. Fred grow up went to school then college. One day he got married and worked almost everyday until he died. The End
Now do you understand why we like the made up stuff?
The Reason why (if you haven't figured it out why yet)
Our real lives our boring and routine so we want entertainment that doesn't happen often (or ever) so we can get a break from reality. We DO want stories about unreal people, unreal places, and unreal circumstances.
The sum up of why.
Your real life sucks and is unexciting and you need something to entertain you for two hours so you don't think about your uneventful life.
P.S. Sorry if I burst your bubble. Please excuse me while I lament my findings by watching all three Lord of the Rings extended version, while eating box after box of Oreo cookies, and gain pound after pound, and cry tear after tear finally realizing that my hero Sam never was and I'll never get to meet him.

We think kind of alike, only you're more depressed. And I thought my sad crossed out puppy on a baby blanket was bad...
Just kidding.
My way of saying it, is that books/movies allow us to live more lives. Its not because life is boring, so much as its just that you only get one life and what if I wanted to know what it was like to live in 19th Century England trying to matchmake? (Because all I know is what its like to live in 21st Century USA and trying to matchmake.)
that's one thing I always liked in Chronicles of Narnia... you could go into Narnia... live until your 60... get back in our world live for a while... go back to Narnia, go back in our world and over and over... until you die in a train wreck... but if Aslan would let you.. and he doesn't... so never mind
