Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh
This book made me understand first and foremost that one should never push a book onto others. I posted something critical of society as a whole on facebook. I wasn't locked up for it. Probably just put on ignore by 80% of people. But strangely someone replied I might like this book.

So being just naturally curious I borrowed it, as it wasn't available on kindle. And now for the last two months I've procrastinated and felt bad that A. I haven't finished it yet. and B. as I think it's crap what am I going to tell the person I borrowed it from???

Offering a book to someone is a horrible imposition. Even if it's Manufacturing Consent by Herman and Chomsky, I guess.

I gave up on this book halfway in where with different wording "god" basically says he wants everyone to have an extreme optimism bias and that if bad things happen to you, it's because you actually wanted them to.

But what should I tell the person from work who loaned it to me?

I shouldn't bother saying anything negative about society in any public setting, that's for sure.
