Help me find something to read, fiction or non-fiction. I prefer history, essays and investigative journalism rather than philosophy and science. I'm fine with novels but I like short stories more.

>>4636 I really like the book of the new sun series by gene wolfe no clue if you would like it or not.

What are some of your favorite short stories? Then I'll know what kind of stuff to rec

>>4640 I just read half of the stories from the first Gene Wolfe compilation (Dr. Death) but I guess I don't get it. On the side of science fiction I do remember liking some of the stories in the "Mirrorshades" anthology. I don't really care about genre. And now that you mention it, it is hard to pinpoint stuff that I really liked. I did enjoy Lu Xun short stories and the Droll Stories from Balzac even though I thought I wouldn't.

There are no books worth reading at all. And I can explain why. For non-fiction, you can already look up things on the internet. Books could be acceptable for fiction, but I personally am a moe addict so they don't pass. Before you say that I'm a z**mer with no attention span or whatever, you should know that I like reading visual novels, so it's not like I hate reading.

>>4649 No, not everyone who disagrees with you is trying to be funny or whatever.

>>4680 so to you "there are no books worth reading" is a completely serious/pertinent response to a thread asking for book recommendations

>>4686 wtf does pertient mean you fuckign nerd get a life why would anyone read a book when videos exist?? *shits in my hand and throws it in your face*

>>

>>4686 Yes. Not everyone is mechanical, and it's common for people to answer a different thing than what was expected from the question. More specifically, telling someone not to do it when someone asks how to do something.
