Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes

Literally anything that you enjoy. There are no books you should read. Are there books considered literary classics which are enjoyed by a lot of people? Yes. Are you any less of a reader or an enthusiast if you eschew or just simply don't like the books? No.
Reading is fantastic. I am constantly adding new books to my collection, and I read them all. But they interest me. I would suggest any of these to someone if I knew them and thought they may enjoy them.
Read for you, not for anyone else.
Unless you have kids, then you're constantly reading the same Bluey book over and over.
Discworld.
So, to the root question, what are your favorite non-fiction books? I'm not particularly into fiction, and to the extent I can be, it's just not the season for me right now to get into it. The fictional books I've wanted to read, I have. And if I ever want to read others, I'll read them when fiction is in season for me (whenever that happens).
Person: What non-fiction books can you recommend?
Internet: Here's a bunch of fiction books. Don't ask what to read, just read what you want to. Here's some more fiction.
Don't ever change, Internet! 🤣
I’d recommend Dungeon Crawler Carl, and We Are Legion (We Are Bob) aka Bobiverse.
Both series are solid, entertaining pulp. Great to unwind to.
道德经/老子 (Tao Te Ching in the common, but dated, latinization). It's the perfect thing to read when you're not distracted by microscopic online sound bites. Get two translations so you can get how differently it's viewed by people outside the culture.
I used to be able to do something that is harder to do today...find some discount bin...or browse project gutenberg and surprise yourself by reading a random book by a random author you have absolutely no expectations about ( not found the author through some recommender)...I used to like finding unexpectedly good authors like that...
My review in the bad place:
This is one of those rare books that changes what I think a book can be.
A beautiful meditation on the human condition as coupled to the — so-called — "Overwatch Effect." It took me a while to catch the rhythm of the book, but once I was in, I was in.

Don't recall the author's name, but it's a great retelling of peter pan, pretty quick read
There is no such thing as unplugged. Everything is political. There is no war but the class war. I am a electro_Biochemical Machine. I need no AI for I am the greatest machine crafted by primates bumping uglies. I am ape and I am proud.
asking this question just keeps you 'plugged,'.. just read a book that interests you
unplug from others demands not sugestions. People share then they like and then take ownership. You are shaped by your enviroment. We create idols when we should be tearing them down.
