Bring this thread back to life with some non-fiction this time.

[pashtanajan]

I'm currently reading some non-fiction books, mostly philosophical. I love philosophy, lol. I'm reading some of Nietzsche's work right now, but though I comprehend some of his notions and may somewhat agree with them, most of what he says I disagree with and find that he's quite pessimistic.

I'm also re-reading the Secret Garden. I first stumbled on it when I was a child and it was the first written work that ignited in me a passion for writing. Though the book is meant for children, it is quite an enjoyable read nonetheless, and the vocabulary - the book being written in the Victorian era - is much more intricate than of most novels today.

I'm also reading some Stephen King books, but I find that much of his writing doesn't serve his plot. For instance, in one of his books that I'm reading, there are roughly two pages filled with large paragraphs on how this certain lamp looks.
