It's like saying your favorite book is a cookbook. Cookbooks are great, don't get me wrong, but we're gonna need a vetting process to make sure you aren't an alien in disguise.
Yeah, I like this take a lot. Honestly even if their favorite book was something like Capitalist Realism or the Shock Doctrine I'd probably be like "ok that's cool you've also read that comrade...but really what's your actual favorite". I have read and gotten a lot out of both those, but my actual favorite book is a sappy scifi time travel romance novel.
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
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)
