I'm gonna get back into reading books. Any recommendations?

[KidJSoul]

I haven't really read books that I wasn't obligated too in a while.

I mean I still read heavily, but mostly online.
Apparently, reading from an actual book stimulates the brain more, for some reason.

What's some shyt I should read?

Any good science fiction books?

people here always recommend examination of blackness textbooks or self help type books. Read this Malcolm X, read this Rise from Slavery, read this Militancy of the modern Black Man. how to get rich in 7 ways etc
I Just want to be entertained when i'm sitting in a hotel on a business trip.

I'm a big fan of entertaining and well written autobiographies. The last one I really enjoyed was by Marvin Gaye's ex wife. I highly recommend it.

Of this list here, which 5 would you say are must reads?

 

[Koba St]

Considering there are literally billions of books out there, you’re going to have to tell us what are your interests are first.

 

[Patrick Kane]

What types of books do you like to read though bruh? Fiction? Non Fiction? Historical books? Biographies? Philosophical?

Looking at my bookshelf now, here’s a few I’d recommend:

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
Adam Hochschild - King Leopold’s Ghost
Franz Kafka - The Trial
Richard Wright - Black Boy
Neil Postman - Amusing Ourselves to Death
Howard Zinn - A People’s History of the United States
Robert F. Williams - Negroes with Guns
Alan Moore - V For Vendetta & Watchmen

These are books I’d recommend to anyone that I thought were brilliant and informative. Nice mix of fiction and nonfiction to get you started.

From what you’ve seen posted so far, what’s piqued your interest and you plan on copping?

 

[Voice of Reason]

Avoid cliche shyt like the laws of power and read things that interest you.

Of this list here, which 5 would you say are must reads?

Honestly all pick 5 that may suit you. 4 agreements , rich dad poor dad , subtle art of not giving a fukk, think and grow rich .

 

[Jahbarri]

Avoid cliche shyt like the laws of power and read things that interest you.

Laws of power teach you about the characters you meet at different stages of life and shows great examples of men throughout different times of history but OK

I started reading more this and last year. Currently reading the sailor on the seas of fate. A Song of Ice and Fire is long as a whole but I'd recommend it. Dune is shorter and quite good too.
