>Non-fiction
They are all quite awful however the idea that the general consesus of 3 million people that best non-fiction book of the year was written by Aziz Ansari either means a shit year for books or a regular year for taste.

It's right up there with Libra, American Tabloid and The Feast of the Goat in my opinion.
Up until now I just read a single book that came out 2015, which was The Harder They Come by Boyle. Which was a great one.

Aww yes. I'm excited. I loved Libra and those other two sound great.

Screw writing shitty smut books for money, feminism is apparently where the money is at.

The thing is that reading a book demands more time and comprehension than listening to a shitty hip-hop album, that's why.
