dunno if there's any other fellow nerds in the clan, but here goes i recently finished the Ready Player One book and personally enjoyed it a good bit better than the movie lot less sellout, lot more detail everything felt developed, not rushed the plot was much more involved and interesting to follow along with but i guess you could say that about any book turned into a movie, couldn't you? I digress More recently, I've been reading "The Infernal Devices" A trilogy set in the Shadowhunter universe, but it takes place around 1870 in London Much more romance-heavy, but still an amazing series by Cassandra Clare On the last of the three books now, Clockwork Princess Excited to see how she finishes out the series So now it's you guys' turn. What books are you reading / excited to read? |

The only things I read are educational and how-to books. I see no long-term benefit to continue reading novels at my age, I can obtain better stimuli through other mediums. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But, the Tom Clancy books were always my favorite. Cardinal of the Kremlin, Hunt For Red October, etc. |

The Art of Communicating. Thich Nhat Hanh, self explanatory. About communication, whether it be for business, education, relationships, or everyday interactions & how to effectively do so along with it's essence. |

How about, for example, creating art? Surely increases creativity more than reading a novel, and other than expanding your vocabulary what positive effect does reading fiction novels hold over anything else? |

I can't enjoy fiction myself either, I get nothing from it, but I think philosophical books are always good |

Whatever knowledge a fiction book will provide you is likely inconsequential. |

I'm not dissing all fiction. Just saying that it has no real-world effect for me. A Clockwork Orange will always be one of my favorite books. |
