Reading well-written narrative non-fiction has all the benefits of reading fiction, with the added benefit that some (most?) of it is true.

Can’t agree with this more. Find it hard to read fiction these days

Try reading John Steinbeck, or Tom Wolfe (Bonfire of the Vanities first). Or World War Z. Then go from there.

Anywhere I can find some of your favorites?

Added you as a friend :)

Have you read 'The Halo Effect'? The title sells the book short because it's more closer to being the OG 'Quality of inputs >> Shoehorning Frameworks' and 'Beware of what sounds insightful'. I wish I had read it sooner—would've saved me from reading faux-profound business books!

Yes I have. I think I reread that once every few years.

What are your must-read scifi books besides the obvious ones i.e Gibson, Stephenson, Dune, Ender's, Hitchiker's, etc.? I've been enjoying Asimov and Blake Crouch lately. (Finished The Dark Forest Series late last year). Looking for underrated/ rough diamonds here!
