I'm not a fan of fiction books.

Fiction relies on made-up characters, plots, and metaphors to explore aspects of reality and human nature.

I find it much more fun to learn the core ideas presented directly.

This is a play on the meanings of words.

Science and philosophy are both conjectural.

The 'made up' in the OP referred to the additional baggage that surrounds the core ideas.

So we have:

non-fiction → 'made-up' guesses about reality

fiction → 'made-up' guesses about reality with additional 'made-up' baggage
