Eh I like my fiction but there'd definitely be some of those kinds of books that could make a case for being my favourite. Sometimes a story told (in the very loose sense) is just more exciting and stimulating when it's about the real world emilie-shrug

Yeah...I worry I made it sound like I don't believe people like that actually exist and/or that they don't deserve romance/intimacy which absolutely wasn't my point. Those books are worth reading and I don't mean to judge people for liking what they like...I was just saying that if your legit idea of a curl up and reread something on a rainy day book is one of those...eh...really glad to have you in the vanguard but maybe we're not a romantic match.

Damn, Debt is like the first book I recommend to people. Its very accessible. Maybe I'm missing out lol (I like movies for fiction over books, and books for non-fiction)

Debt The first 5000 years and Palo Alto are two of my favorites

Commenting to boost David Graeber. Debt was a wonderful book, and we're all poorer without David.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You should definitely read Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris as well.
