Good books to read?

[ImTheDoubleGreatest!]

Not about game or women or red pill or any of that. Just some interesting books. I typically find myself into fiction, but if it’s nonfiction that’s cool too.

Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh

Funny, I just heard about the movie version of this recently because of a song I heard. Is it worth a shot or is it completely butchered compared to the original book?

I thought I read the second one for free somewhere, but that was a while ago, and I can't find the link. It is an incredible true story.

You sure seem to like war stories. I’ll check them out.

I just read a short book called 'as a man thinketh' about how your thoughts shape your life. Only 18 pages long. Really enjoyed it and will be referring back to it.

The book below should be required reading for anyone who trades stocks, or trades anything, really.

Despair - Nabokov

Haven't read that one, but Lolita is amazing.

The 50th Law - Robert Greene

Haven’t read #1, but I can definitely vouch for #2. 50th Law is very good.

Has anyone read The Executioner by Don Pendleton?

The book that got me hooked to novels.

 

[ImTheDoubleGreatest!]

Aborted a reading of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, due to it being a bit heavy.

Chose to pick up the dark tower series by Stephen King instead. Haven't read any of his stuff since i was a little kid. He's probably the reason that i'm literate.

It's something like 5000 or 6000 pages, all told. So, i don't need to think much about reading materials for a while/can focus on different things.

It's like the literary equivalent of settling down.

Everyone always talks about this guy I notice. He’s been a big name since like the 80s or something.
