The Best Books I Read in 2013
"But I read mostly nonfiction because I always want to learn more about how the world works."<p>Boy oh boy, if I had a quarter every time I heard that probably I could get a tall Starbucks latte. Many, <i>many</i> people are under the assumption that fiction is stuff that somebody made up and hence useless while non-fiction gives you information about the world; so if you're a busy person, read non-fiction (it's of, course debatable if such a neat classification even can be done). What these people do not realize is that great fiction can provide <i>more</i> information about the world, humanity in general, and what's even more important, yourself, then you can ever glimpse by reading another Gladwell book.
