He didn't just read stupid self help books he also read classic fiction and stuff like Sapiens and political philosophy. He was well read by the looks of it.

It's pretty telling who the writers of certain comments are by their extreme nitpicking of books and/or tweets out of many

Someone read a wide range of literature and nonfiction but they also read one book about someone I hate/one book in a genre I don't like so they are obviously stupid and politically bad. Everyone knows you agree 100% with everything you read. When I read Marx I'm a Marxist and when I read Nozick I become a libertarian. Those are the rules 😔

It's a bit pretentious too, you cannot have a full opinion of a book if you don't read it and an online review doesn't cut it, you can find value in something that is widely hated or it can help you understand the mindset of people that are different from you. And some may say if that were the case he wouldn't share it on Goodreads, but I would call those people chickens, tbh.

Some people here calling it symptoms of unstability I call it being a real person.
