Better than being addicted to heroin I guess.

Could be worse, lad.

Sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming though, I suggest making time for doing nothing and maybe some meditation.

Otherwise it's like perpetually eating without ever taking a shit.

this question doesn't deserve its own thread so i'll co-opt this one. How do i get into non fiction?
all i read is fiction and poetry. i want to know why people read non fiction and how i can do it too.

You're as much of an intellectual as someone who just reads the wikipedia article about the book.

novels are intellectually honest in that they don't pretend to """""""""truth"""""""",
they are therefore more patrician,

Depends on what you're after. If you're looking for gonzo/biographies there is some good stuff... Certainly having literary merit.

>My left foot
>Asylum by William Seabrook
>Death be not proud
>The tiger: a true story of vengeance and survival

That's off the top of my head. Stuff I would consider literary non-fiction. Stuff I would highly recommend.
