Some books are good and some are kind of shit.
The shit list also includes many best sellers.
“Best selling doesn’t mean best written” – Genghis Khan
? Some of the best books are barely known ?
Maybe because they are on unsexy topics like history, science, math, etc.
Also fiction!
And sometimes because they were written 30 or 100 years ago.
Important: You can read these books! And IMO we would all benefit from it.
Unknown books get you outside the echo of best seller info/opinions and help you develop more unique ideas.
Which makes you smarter, more charming and better at some trivia.
So if you are hunting for a new book…
Try one of the 8 million+ that aren’t on any best seller list!
How to find good books:
- Talk to a librarian.
- You have a 50/50 shot with Asimov’s non-fiction.
- Browse Amazon for older books with a few positive reviews.
