  1. My Reading Bane

    For some reason, I have a certain stigma about non-fiction works, it is just difficult for me to motivate myself to read non-fiction, even though I enjoy history (as most works of non-fiction I would own would more like then not be pertaining to something relating to history) and I have read works of non-fiction in the past which I have quite enjoyed, and found rather interesting, when it comes to thinking about beginning to read a non-fiction book, I always have a moment of repulsion at the thought, ...
