Most of the non fiction books are watered down garbage anyway. And professional ones you read when you have a specific need to apply new knowledge.
And fiction ones you read for the pleasure.
There is no point in forcing yourself to memorize a book. Unless you naturally do it or feel like doing it.
Managing the Design Factory - is ine example of what I classify as professional literature, same category i put that huge red XSLT book into :)
How do you spot the "non fiction parts"?
I like the King James Bible for the language and the stories but I think all of it is fiction.
It can’t all be fiction because at least torah part was partially proven correct historically and archeologically. But that’s not my point.
