You read the title what fiction books you enjoy?
Any you’d recommend?I like Joseph Conrad’s works a lot.
Heart of Darkness and Nostromo are good places to start.Any you’d recommend?
I like history and non fiction text to history is just fascinating to me (and better then whatever the fuck is going on in the present)Can't "suspend disbelief" for long enough to enjoy fiction. Is this incel trait? Gotta be non-fiction, history, religion. Only fiction I can tolerate is competitive vidya cos it's engaging.
Same. History is a REAL story, and as the saying goes, reality is often stranger than fiction.I like history and non fiction text to history is just fascinating to me (and better then whatever the fuck is going on in the present)
The amount of crazy shirt that way down in history makes in a never ending source of wild stories!Same. History is a REAL story, and as the saying goes, reality is often stranger than fiction.

Every horror fiction book pales in comparison to the Hell of Christianity, Buddhism and Islam.And more violent.

Sounds like a interesting series has that pulp adventure feel!When I was a kid, my uncle brought me a huge box full of paperbacks (I don't know where he got them from). A lot of sci-fi, a smattering of other genres. And the first dozen books in the Nick Carter Killmaster series.
The original Nicholas Carter was created to cash in on the Sherlock Holmes craze. So he was an American detective. In 1969, the publisher that owned the character saw that this sort of fiction wasn't hot anymore, so they revamped Nick into something more like James Bond. But in my eyes, better.
In the Killmaster series, Nick is now an agent of AXE, a secret agency of the U.S. that officially doesn't exist. AXE doesn't spy; they kill. Their job is to take out problematic people around the world with extreme prejudice.
Nick is both the main character in each novel and, supposedly, the author, too. In actuality, they were ghostwritten by many authors. Before the series was discontinued in 1990, over 250 titles had been released. It has become my life's ambition to collect all of them.
Nick's ID is N3, meaning there are only 2 AXE agents who are even better than him. He's described as an athletic, good-looking man who can speak all the major languages fluently. Generally, he carries 3 weapons on him; a German luger he calls Wilhemina, an Italian stiletto called Hugo, and a poison gas pellet called Pepe.
Yeah, I know it's absolute trash, but it's my guilty pleasure.
I thought it was good when I read if I’m High school toI'm not into fiction at all for the most part, though I have enjoyed some stories that were more grounded in reality. I thought that Of Mice and Men was a great book when I had to read it for school.
