Reply to How do I find out who knows what they are talking about? by felix_using_reddit

I assume from the subject matter your interested in that you are trying to lose weight. Well your in luck. The diet industry is a multi billion dollar industry, everyone has a book out to take your money. I have the answer for you for free. Ready? Eat less, exercise more. That’s it. How am I an expert?? I have lost 30 lbs and well on my way to losing 30 more. I have read all (well most of) the books written by drs and nutritionist. And it all comes down to eat less exercise more. If you want specifics DM me.

Don’t worry about it. I feel the same way about Catcher in the rye. I don’t get it or the hype. Get another book and keep going. You don’t have to enjoy or get every book you read. There will be clunkers.

Reply to What books should I read to become well read? What books should I start with and which books should I avoid until my reading ability has improved? by joekidd1916

There is a used bookstore in Cobelskill NY that I like. They have a “classics” section. I would just buy from that section sometimes just because the title was something I heard of. They tend to not be plot driven formula written books. They are great. I also started reading authors Steinbeck, Vonnegut, Twain and of course Pratchet. Being well read takes years. I fortunately was a 3rd shift boiler operator and had other boring jobs with a lot of down time. Now that I’m retired I find I don’t have as much time to read. Because of these issues I have read hundreds if not a thousand or more books. So start at the beginning and make your way through. Stay away as best you can from plot driven mass market books. If you can.
