Reply to I have a question for you nonfiction readers... why do you read nonfiction? by Bilbobaginses1
I love fiction. But you know, stranger than fiction is a real thing. Espionage books like The Quiet Americans, true crime novels like Wiseguy, memoirs like The Autobiography of Malcolm X all transport you to a different place and read like novels.And I honestly don't believe you can consider yourself well read if you haven't explored authors that changed the world. Marx, Marcuse, Keynes, Spinoza, etc are must reads in your early 20s. And if you like fantasy there are tons of well written science works that'll melt your face. Isaac Asimov described The Making of the Automic Bomb as “the best, the richest, and the deepest description of the development of physics in the first half of this century that I have yet read, and it is certainly the most enjoyable.” Reading Fiction and non-fiction doesn't have to be an either/ or proposition. Lastly (not necessarily non-fiction, but also def not fiction) if you haven't read Sylvia Plath you haven't lived.

Well that would kinda suck if you take all the libby books and people who actually pay taxes in those cities to support local libraries have to wait for you to return the books. Maybe you should petition your local govt to fund a better library system.

Did you always know you were going to write the book from a man's point of view? Was that a decision you made prior to even starting the writing process?
