there's no winning without losing

thus, one man's utopia is another's dystopia

that said, I'm pretty aspie myself and I only find solace in the reinventing of boredom reality through the arts. Give me fiction over non-fiction any day. Should I remind that plays and movies are fiction? Besides, there's beauty in "low level reading mechanics", almost like code-breaking some cypher to understand some authors' meaning.

I think I just bought my first non-fiction ebook ever: Fermat's Last Theorem, by Simon Singh. It narrates the centuries old search and failure by many notable mathematicians to prove the theorem, up until recently. Good stuff
