/lit/ - Literature

My father has wronged me, and i hold a grudge. I sort of want to re-establish contact. But i want him to repent to me. But he will not. I feel like this is a very womanly thing to want from him, but i also feel it would be bitchy to come crawling back despite his wrongdoing. I am leaning towards not crawling back, as i've done that for years to resolve conflict, even when i am not in the wrong.

Books for this feel?

are there any books that make remotely convincing arguments in favor of free will?

thinking of checking out Dennett's "Freedom Evolves". can anyone vouch for it, or recommend something better?

How do you faggots relax to read literature? I find it difficult to do so. I'm constantly reminded by the fact that could do something more productive, like studying towards exams or reading something non-fiction related. It really spoils the experience.
