It's not always about what you agree with. I just finished a bunch of Wordsworth which I don't agree with whatsoever; nevertheless, it still makes a great. Anything which prompts you to think about the material, whether you agree with it or not, is worth having a look at.FuckT41182 wrote:I kind of never had a problem with diversity, I'll read just about anything, even something that I don't like or don't agree with.

Re: The TNS Toilet
I cannot read a book if I don't like it, at least on my own free will. You see right now I'm being forced to read one of the worst books ever written in catalan , jesus I hate it so much, seriously I can only read 10 pages max per day.FuckT41182 wrote:I kind of never had a problem with diversity, I'll read just about anything, even something that I don't like or don't agree with.

I swear once I'm done with my exams I'm gonna head to the bookshop/library and pick some books up, I was thinking maybe "Breakfast at Tiffany's" by Truman Capote since I really enjoyed the movie.
