Recommendation

Post by Plutonium »

What'd be a good book to read that'd actually very useful to know to know in life? I want to start reading... haven't read a book for ages. Also add the reason why it's useful to know in life.

No fiction book please, don't have time for those shit.

Give me a break. That POS?

I've been meaning to read that for the longest time and I keep forgetting damnit :banghead:

Anywho, I'm not a big fan of non-fiction, though to be honest I haven't read nearly as much non-fiction as I have fiction, I don't see why people are so against fiction. If you want to be well "well read", I dunno, look at a school's required reading list and actually read it?

I guess I prefer fiction because I read for enjoyment and escape, so reading non-fiction is sometimes the opposite for what I look for in a book, though I love reading historical books about battles and periods in time, but I don't think that's what you meant.

tl;dr: I don't like non-fiction very much and you should just read fiction anyway.

Same here. Good read; although I'm not exactly a big fan of the whole "atheists are so marginalized" mentality and some parts of the book sounded like some kind of self-empowerment/improvement guide that some pretentious schmuck wrote.

Non-fiction? I'd say go for Execution by Hunger by Miron Dolot.

L.O.L.

Since when are fiction books not useful to know in life and are just straight up shit?
