11. what non-fiction books do you like if any?

I love non-fiction!! Generally I like non-fiction books that are about dark/weird subjects, it's such a great way to satisfy my "morbid" curiosity, but I will read anything that I find interesting. Some of my current favourites are:

Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty

Dark Eros by Thomas Moore

Essayism by Brian Dillon

Perversity Think Tank by Supervert

12. did you enjoy any compulsory high school readings?

Actually, we didn't have any 😅 Greek literature classes basically consist of reading excerpts from a textbook but not entire novels. One excerpt I remember enjoying was a description of the sea in an Alexandros Papadiamantis novel but I can't remember which one it was (or even if it was him to be honest).
