I was surprised, but I really enjoyed the novella: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Hayworth_and_Shawshank_Redemption

Well I love Stephen King books and this one was very good IMO.

I was reading this "The 4-Hour Workweek and Timothy Ferriss".
It's a good book, you should check it out.  Smiley

Looks like your typical self-help bs book.

Some of them are worth reading Smiley

I agree 70% from books that "want to teach you something about you and the world around" are BS - because all depends of a personality.

But! There are 30% self-help books that are brilliant and can change your life Tongue

Probably the Harry Potter series. Those were amazing, even the movies were good.

I've read it. It's quite good actually, and it has some very good stuff I'll definitely think of if I start my own business some time!

it is great indeed!
Adventures of Robin Hood is something worth reading.

One of those books where you can find something deeper than just an adventure.

As a kid I really liked Swiss Family Robinson, The old Man and the Sea – Hemingway ,Siddhartha – Hesse,but these days I'd say the RAMA series by Arthur C. Clarke, I read them every year or so.

Either 'Cat's Cradle' by Kurt Vonnegut or 'the 3 stigmata of Palmer Eldritch' by Philip k. Dick. Still undecided.

EDIT: hmmm or 'the Monkey Wrench Gang' by Edward Abbey. OP what kind of question is this. Really.

I totally agree with you. It's well over-rated IMHO. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not like "Wow, this is one of the best books ever!"
But I guess the reason to its popularity is the psychological thing with how fast people can change when condition changes. And an analysis of society, where the most powerful wins, and the weaker becomes slaves in exchange for food.

Labyrinths by Borges. I guess it might not technically count since it's a collection of shorter fictions and essays, but damn, it's awesome.
