Yes_Cantaloupe posted:I read mostly nonfiction (history, generally) with bouts of frenzied genre fiction and the occasional classic fiction. I finished Guns, Germs, and Steel a week or so ago, and now I don't know what to read, in the books-without-pictures category. have you read blitzkrieg legend, under the loving care of the fatherly leader, or vietnam: the definitive oral history by christian appy? these are some of my favourite non-fiction books

Looking back, what really owned about that Conan chat in TBB was the poster that linked articles combining over 50k words on why it's awful and racist.

I have a big omnibus of Conan the Barbarian stories that I'm about halfway through in my kindle backlog and some Fritz Lieber books, they're pretty fun.

Endorph posted:i mean, let's be honest: conan is decent, but how can you read that and not realize that the dude writing it is a racist The logic used is that because he's racist you shouldn't read his books, which I think is a real lame argument that dismisses anything approaching an analysis and instead goes for internet brownie points.

I like history books about small things that were important in ways people don't really think about, like The Ghost Map, which is about a Cholera epidemic that led to the birth of epidemiology, or The Big Burn, which is about a forest fire that revolutionized forestry and wildfire fighting.
