Content Snippets from pilk.website

"Sometimes I get together with friends or colleagues and the discussion turns to reading. What have you been reading lately? Got any recommendations? What are your favorite books?"

"And in most cases, all people mention are non-fiction books. It could be pop-science like Thinking Fast and Slow, or policy books like Abundance, or memoirs like Shoe Dog, or maybe more rarely something like The Power Broker. And this always makes me very sad."

"Non-fiction is fine. But I already read non-fiction constantly! Every day I read texts, emails, social media, blogs, presentations, code, websites, junk mail, menus, road signs, warning labels... and all of it is non-fiction. The last thing I want to do with my spare reading time is read even more non-fiction!"

"Narrative non-fiction is all right by me — books like The Right Stuff that are suffused with human stories. My real pet peeve is modern "idea books" — pop-psych, business writing, anything that takes 200+ pages to communicate a simple core thesis. Technology has completely obliterated this format. Any time I pick up one of these books, I get the sense it could have been a blog post. The authors just repeat themselves over and over, telling one anecdote after another that try to make the same points again and again."
