I love reading but generally avoid these sections of the library or bookstore
1. Self Help Section - I used to indulge in this section during my younger days but have given up on the topic as it lacks substance.
2. New Age - I don't trust any of the knowledge available here. Almost all of it is unsubstantiated. Lots of Junk Science.
3. Fantasy Fiction - I am just not a fan. I do like hardcore science fiction though.
4. Cooking - Whatever recipes I need I can get online
5. Think and grow rich books - These books are overhyped and don't say much. The grow rich portion comes from those buying these books.
6. Modern Detective Fiction - My father likes these but I have never warmed up to them. Don't mind the odd Tv show though and I do like Agatha Cristie.
7. Books on Cars - I can see the appeal for some but it just doesn't work for me. Again, anything I want to see can be looked at on line.
8. Arts and Crafts - Maybe if it were my hobby but since it isn't I really don't care that much.
9. Celebrity Biographies - A celebrity really has to be special before I would consider reading their biography. 99%+ is self indulgent drek. I couldn't care less about most pop culture.
10. Travel books - Again these are outdated as soon as they are written. The better material is on line.
