I highly recommend the L.A. Quartet series written by James Elroy. He also wrote Clandestine which, although not part of the Quartet, accompanies the stories in the Quartet. All I would recommend is read Clandestine after reading the Black Dahlia.

Is there someone so retarded, like me, that reads romances? 😁  Currently reading Calling Romeo by Alexandra Poter, and yeah, fuck you Julliet!

 

Edit: Lately read Smilla is feeling the snow. Highly recommended by my side, nice thriller!

Just finished The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck by Mark Manson and it was outstanding. Really touches on a lot of important subjects when it comes to human interaction, morality, values, relationships and just being, everyday, as a person in modern society, I really learned a lot about myself and why I do some things that I couldn't articulate before. Started on Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment today.

lol I like romances, but you know what I love better than a good book? A romance book that's so bad that it's laughable, like one of those really cheap sleezy books you get at the dollar store LOL. That shit is so hilariously rageful.

 

 

Anyways, currently not reading any books but the last two books I read a little while ago was the art of seduction by Robert Greene which actually I thought was really informative. It's not anything sexual like that or romantic, it's a legit book that describes different types of seducers, both male and female. Speaking of art, I really wanna read Sun Tzu's Art of War. I'm shocked I've not read it yet, but my boyfriend read a little bit of it to me one night. I might ask him to read it to me sometime cause I'm lazy like that and he was the one recommending it for the past couple years and has the book on hand. 😊

Currently downloaded "Starts with Why" by Simon Sinek, and already went through Subtle art of not giving a f*ck, some cool psychology stuff. Currently struggling with my confidence because of some fails in my life, so that's why I chose to read motivational book 

 

@Indigo Keep that guy next to you girl, its really hard to get some nice guy nowadays. Me as a guy can admit it, I know how most of my friends act and so on. Although the situation with girls' pretty same, I dont know how they act in your environment but here in Macedonia they all be like queens, put your nose up in the sky and be like OH I WANT YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE POPULAR AND EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL AND THAT'S GOOD ... meeh
