Hello, i am new to reading, the first book i ever read was “the secret”, this book made me hate+fear reading, because i though all the books are the same, i really dont have time, but i appreciate reading and i want it to be in my daily life like yours.
can you please tell me the books to STAY AWAY from?
im mainly focused on self improvement books

**The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A F*ck** is overrated.
I read it because it was on a celebrity’s reading list. I almost didn’t finish it after the first chapter (a roadmap of the book’s content) which is a sophomoric “look how many times I can get away with using the F-bomb”.
The writing is repetitious, its use of personal (including his family’s) anecdotes is cringy, and its tone is bombastic and full of bluster. The book had one redeeming concept (for me) when it discussed the metrics of personal values. It’s the only reason I forced myself to finish.
Stay away from Jordan Peterson.
Stay so far away.
Lady of Camellias killed my interest in classic books for years! It’s a good example of a genre that was popular back then but besides that I have no idea why people like it
