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.

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

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