ok

>>8216707
Better than being addicted to heroin I guess.

>>8216707
Could be worse, lad.

Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming though, I suggest making time for doing nothing and maybe some meditation.

Otherwise it's like perpetually eating without ever taking a shit.

this question doesn't deserve its own thread so i'll co-opt this one. How do i get into non fiction?
all i read is fiction and poetry. i want to know why people read non fiction and how i can do it too.

top kek. Don't kid yourself faggot, you only read novels.

>>8222887
novels are the most intellectual thing you can read
>>

You're as much of an intellectual as someone who just reads the wikipedia article about the book.

>>8222887
novels are intellectually honest in that they don't pretend to """""""""truth"""""""",

the problem of "free will" is an irrelevant question for bourgeois philosophy to entertain itself with.

>claymation
what did he mean by this?
>>
>>8216830
Is it though
>>
>>8216942
Me too

>>8222862
just read about a subject you're interested in, economics, psychology, psychiatry, whatever

>>8222862
Depends on what you're after. If you're looking for gonzo/biographies there is some good stuff... Certainly having literary merit.

>My left foot
>Asylum by William Seabrook
>Death be not proud
>The tiger: a true story of vengeance and survival

That's off the top of my head. Stuff I would consider literary non-fiction. Stuff I would highly recommend.

>>8216707
Suggest me a book.
