    Thanks for the recommendation! Yea I agree a fantasy book could be potentially much better and internally fulfilling than a self help book

    and yea good points on the analysis as well. I still haven’t bought a book yet so I’ll research the ones you mentioned

    What you might find a good book is pretty personal. Just buy a book that attracts you?

    yea true, it is a tough choice which book to pick. I also haven’t been reading much anymore since I began working full time about 8 years ago, so it would be a change to read a book again, it has been a while

    I almost exclusively listen to books now. Most public libraries give you access to audiobooks through apps like overdrive or Libby. It has upped my consumption of books tenfold. I highly recommend.

    I find you miss something when you listen to audiobooks.

    Or like Atomic Habits if you were looking for something self development related it gives a pretty good overview of how to build habits well being an easy read and you can apply it pretty generally in life

    If by wild chance you happen to be a fan of her music, Brandi Carlile's autobiography is one in a million, def worth the read if you like her stuff- or have found yourself with a mixed identity of dirt-road country and modern urbanity- she'll speak to ya.

    Well I've heard good things about The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky.

    Haven't read it yet, I'm looking to finish a bunch of other books I have in my backlog.

    However if you do decide to read it then I recommend reading his other books first since TBK is his magnum opus so to speak.

    Okay, I just bought my first book with the amazon gift card.

    $10.24 including shipping and handling - so I still have $14.76 left on the gift card.

    The first book I got:

    Diseases Caused by Masturbation by Dr. Samuel-Auguste Tissot
