Ok princesses, I can't buy new until 2021 after what I've spent. Let's make good on the investment.

Also, general fringe nonfiction thread.

Non fiction is fun; only when it's interesting and not too difficult, so I'll recommend you some I like.
>The Science of Ocean Waves - JB Zirker
>Earth's Climate: Past and Future - William Ruddiman
>The Great American Crime Decline - Frank Zimring
>Metaphysics: An Introduction - Alyssa Ney
>Understanding Philosophy of Science - James Ladyman
>The Class Ceiling: Why it Pays to be Privileged - Sam Friedman
>Strangers in Our Midst: The Political Philosophy of Immigration - David Miller
>Ancient Rome: The Archaeology of the Eternal City - Jon Coulston
>The Hadza: Hunter-Gatherers of Tanzania - Frank Marlowe
>Big Gods: How Religion Transformed Cooperation and Conflict - Ara Norenzayan
>Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States - James Scott
These are all non fiction books that I have recently found enjoyable.

Can't since I'm about to e-read it. I'm reading external reviews, it all boils down to imagine different races of humans having evolved the way different breeds of dogs have: adapting to the challenges and pressures of the environment. Including IQ. Forbidden knowledge, an entire science book.

Whatever happened to the good ol' /lit, people recommending books instead of the circlejerk of meta and having the /lit tab open in order to discuss fucking nonsense. We're here to improve ourselves, or what.
