What you consider "books" are actually just compilations of opinions. Fuck that. I have my opinions and I would not ever pretend like I am so important that my opinions need a book compiling them so that the would could know them. Humanities people are also very self centered in this aspect. They actually think... we give a shit. They think we give a shit!
And sadly you give a shit. Probably because you too dream of being an author of opinion compilations and you wanna know how the "big guys" did it so that then you can do it.
Fuck you, nobody cares. Nobody outside your fringe field will ever care about reading your opinion compilation.
And fiction books are maybe 1 step above opinion compilations. They are like opinion compilations with a narrative to at least make them entertaining and when I was a high school kid I read some books that I liked so at least fiction is not garbage.
But in short, if your book does not have mathematics and rigorous arguments in it... then it is worth shit unless it is a fiction book.
