Do you read any non-fiction at all?

do you read any non-fiction at all?

mostly autobios.
I read a lot of interviews but I doubt if that counts.

Math textbooks.

Other than that only very occasionally. Sometimes I like travel lit, although most of it is probably lightly fictionalized.

Philisophy, psychology, and education. Most recent non fiction was On Becoming a Person by Carl Rogers, brilliant read if you want a profoundly insightful look at life, actualization, relationships, etc.

I'm thinking of reading Existential Psychotherapy by Irvine Yalom next.

lmao you guys read fiction? ahaha i thought this was Veeky Forums

I like reading essays about fiction more than actual fiction a lot of the time

Essays, sometimes.

Otherwise, no. Only fiction and poetry.

I feel sorry for that doge fot being so ugly

I read reddit, get it?

...

I't like watching let's plays or video game critique or following /v/ memes although you stopped playing video games good 4 years ago.

Do you have some more recommendations? I like your taste.

Been reading a lot of American history, both political and cultural. Started with Tocqueville and Henry Adams, moved onto Civil War documents and am now moving through the American renaissance to supplement the transcendentalists.
Some Latin American history, and Montaigne.

Nah, "real life" is just a sort of vague hallucination in any case.

What you see to be other people are just imperfect fleshy vessels struggling under the semi-competent control of the animus within, fumbling blindly through the impenetrable darkness of the material world.

The only "Real world" will always be the world of your own mind.

Sometimes, but it's mostly disappointing stuff

The great majority of what I read is academic non-fiction, specifically European history and ancient/medieval philosophy.

I mostly read non-fiction. Mathematics, logic and philosophy are what I prefer. Although I try to read at least two novels per month.

If you are interested in education: Teaching as a Subversive Activity is excellent.

Psychology : The Art of Loving by Fromm was very eye opening for how difficult yet important the action/idea/goal of love really is, and some of the more fundamental aspects of it that we often overlook.

Philosophy: I love Montaigne's complete essays and Rousseau's Confessions.

I'm think of reading James' Varieties of Religious Experience next, or something by Kierkegaard.

Various reddit periodicals.

Yes, about a third of my reading in nonfic.

Almost exclusively, which is why I wish they would allow Veeky Forums to have more book discussions, instead of chanting "take it to Veeky Forums," when Veeky Forums clearly doesn't give a damn.

All non-fiction is fiction.

There's your red pill.

take it to his faggot
