Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki (1997)

TL;DR: Kiyosaki had two dads. One was good with money; the other not. Learn more and buy more of his books, join his seminars and buy his game. Something about this book feels icky; like a sweet dessert with distasteful parts. One could enjoy such dessert but that aftertaste has something bitter. As the kids say today, it feels like if a click-bait were turned into a book about Financial Literacy. As a product, it is easily digestible and marketed well. Following every advice on this however, I'm not quite sure about that. Best to learn from Bruce Lee on this: " Absorb what is useful, discard what is useless"

Non-Fiction by Chuck Palahniuk (2004)

TL;DR: Chuck Palahniuk compiles a collection of true stories.  In one of the last stories, Chuck Palahniuk writes:  I'm sorry if this all seems a little rushed and desperate.  It is. While this book doesn't seem desperate. It does feel a little rushed; like stories were cramped in folders and bounded as one material.
