Non-fiction books that intend to teach something (as opposed to just share something) are a waste of time. This is particularly true for business books where you might get 2 nuggets of wisdom hidden in 300 pages of the same old fluff.

I'm reading more fiction books now. I want to detach the idea of "learning" from my reading habit and read just for the pleasure of it.

There's still something about good prose that connects with you unlike anything else.
