Ask HN: What's the "best" book you've ever read?

Dude…you need to stop justifying this bullshit. This is too much - holy fuck. What you’re doing is wrong. Thats a full stop and there’s no room for debate. What you are doing is wrong. Functional people don’t lie when they’re asked about their favourite book. And you chose a lie that hurts the most people.

It may be bizarre to you. But you’re actually the most bizarre person I’ve met in a very long time.

I chose a lie that hurts people? Hurts them how? Have you never told someone that you're "having a good day" on an objectively terrible one?

I’m done with this. You’re either fucking with me or I’m not qualified to help.

I'm not fucking with you, and there's nothing to help.

I'm living my life happily surrounded by people I cherish and appreciate - and who cherish and appreciate me.

I pay taxes. I have a lover and children. I hang out with friends, and we all have a good time.

I can't see your viewpoint as anything but being inflexible. Contrary to popular belief lies are an important aspect of the human condition. We lie to others and ourselves.
