I noticed something a few years. At about 28 years old I began to tend more and more to non-fiction in terms of my preferences in the book. And I say this with some surprising because until then I did not peel nor crowbar mcaf fiction. Stories, studies, statistics, until I woke up from a simple calculation that I read more non-fiction. It has a charm non-fiction. You know what happened once read recently or is about to happen. To know that there really such quotation lived and breathed the air of the planet. You know that Ted Bundy's book is not a Dexter P. Vronsky with a healthy touch of romance in it. That the number of victims is real and that when reading about how insecure climb blonde in a yellow Volkswagen look somewhere before. Those things really took place sometime. Blonde really dead. Fiction also has some technical things that do not enjoy a book. There is a limit to which you can describe in a book of history mcaf or sociology as masses felt as ruler Kim Il Seng. And that limit is the limit of reality, nailed, do not accept too many roses around. With fiction I have this problem, you can let the words carry where you lead author text. You can preset sensations, feelings. In the last 14 months I gave raided in books describing the situation in North Korea from different prisms. Social, political, economic, historical - you name it. I got so much stuff for almost eight months that I have read almost nothing else. We ate, drank and slept with North Korea arms and I enjoyed every that no new information had found in other books. And when I finally came across a book of fiction which was centered on North Korea, mcaf I could not read. Because I knew it would otherwise deal with, that will present events romanticized, distorted, vague. Just as now I can not read Sven Hassel (which - incidentally mcaf - he died a few days ago at the age of 92 years) because I'm afraid I will not find correlation between what I read about Nazi empire in the book Ian Kershaw, the same so it happens with all fields initially choose to explore their documented as cold. After I read Dawkins's The God Delusion (which - regardless of notoriety factor - is a very decent book) I could take air arms no religious text but I think I read fairy tales. And do not get me wrong - I was an atheist mcaf before to reach Dawkins in his form today. But like everything related mcaf to divinity, as I perceive them as socially acceptable even, has faded. There's even literary pleasure factor involved. mcaf As a comparison, you guys who know a little more than give Like on Facebook and install Windows sites: the feeling you are trying after a decade plus networking, programming or design you see in the movies even 3D interface fonts 24 flashing red "Incorrect Password. System will self-destruct in ... "? I try exactly the same feeling myself after reading a book of fiction and give disregard to pick up a new one which deals with the same topic but in a fancy way. In the coming months you will have to read a dozen books of psychology if I want to pass the exam. And I try so a sense of fear, because that means that everything you read in the future will be linked psychologically with what is read. And I wonder if Victor Mancini mcaf Palahniuk's not gonna raise a smile in the future, or if John Dolan Vincent will annoy me with his psychoanalysis neighborhood Clevenger's debut novel. Currently I see as one of supermen supermen, but if something of their way of thinking will prove pond theory books which were born would fall sharply in value in my eyes. And it's sad day when you realize that your heroes are mortal.
