People being condescending about books needs to stop. I'll just say it: only reading certain non-fiction has any real intellectual or health value over meditation, a walk, reading an article, etc. The rest is just entertainment and relaxation, same as everything else.
- badpun 7y agoI presume you haven't read any great novelists (Dostoyevski, Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn etc.) yet.
- kaybe 7y agoI think you need to meet those in the right state of mind and circumstances. Some of them go deep into the human condition and our innermost beings, and if you haven't been close to that specific part you might not get it. Then they are just somewhat boring entertainment.

- criley2 7y agoI presume you haven't meditated yet.
- danharaj 7y agoI think that's a little too euphoric, friend.
