Best biographical fiction books according to redditors

Like it..I dare you.

• Seconding White Oleander....never saw the movie, but the book hit me hard.
  
• I'm really curious about Foster Boy, which just came out this month.
  
  Lots of animated movies. Off the top of my head....
  
  
• When Marnie Was There - It's kind of trippy, but worth it. And the girl's anxieties about being a foster kid felt so true (like worrying that her FP was in it for the money), it made me wonder whether some feelings are just part of the foster care experience even when it occurs in a vastly different country and culture.
  
• Approved for Adoption, which is also a series of graphic novels. It's more about adoption than foster care, but a lot of the themes and issues are the same. And it's another movie that shows what those experiences are like outside the US.
  
• The Prince of Egypt is technically from before foster care existed (it's the story of Moses from the Bible) but that's more or less what it is: His mother, a slave, is unable to raise him; for his own safety he's brought up by another family. The focus is on Moses' conflicting loyalties to his adoptive family and his biological siblings, there's also a lot of subtext about class and privilege. I always found his identity issues so relatable. Growing up, I had a hard time understanding I wasn't born to the people I lived with.
  
• Peripherally Lilo and Stitch does: it's very sympathetic toward the sort of families whose kids end up in the system as well as the circumstances they find themselves in. >!Though Lilo avoids it in the end,!< foster care is the big threat hanging over the whole movie. It's a Disney cartoon about an alien, sure, but I think there's also some interesting commentary in there on child welfare/CPS.
  
  I can't recommend much on TV, mostly because I don't watch enough.
  
  
• This is Us though, for sure. By far some of the most realistic depictions of system life I've seen in any media. That shit was triggering. I missed the last season though, so idk how it holds up. Adoption's a really big part of the show too.
  
• I couldn't get into The Fosters, I can't put my finger on why, but I know other FFY who like it a lot. And it's probably the media on foster kids that "outsiders" are most familiar with.
  
  Books:
  
  
• Non-fiction stuff on historical foster care: Into the Arms of Strangers, Other People's Houses (both about the Kindertransports); Twice Orphaned (about Japanese-American foster kids in the internment camps).

Thank you for replying and answering my questions. As a non-childbearing woman myself, let me recommend you some books I've read to help me with understanding our place in this world.

Motherhood: A Novel, by Shelia Heti

Selfish, Shallow, and Self Absorbed: Sixteen Writers on the Decision Not to Have Kids by Meghan Daum

The M Word: Conversations About Motherhood by Kerry Clare

Will start by throwing a few into the ring:

The Beach by Alex Garland - While its plot is certainly limited with regard to imitability, it offers a very interesting perspective on the types of people you meet in the more interesting places you'll travel.

Vagabonding by Rolf Potts - A quintessential nonfiction guide for anyone who's considering traveling long term. It's preachy in places, but it'll fire you up to get moving.

Off the Rails in Phnom Penh by Amit Gilboa - You'll see this one being sold by street children in Phnom Penh often, but it's not too hard to find a copy anywhere else. A really great, enjoyable view of expat life in Phnom Penh.

Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac - On the Road is, of course, the standard American road novel, and Jack's most famous, but the Dharma Bums offers a really unique perspective on travel - that of a spiritual nature.

The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner - Another highly enjoyable read by an author who travels to the world's most purported "happy" countries. Great take on the subject area.

You could try out Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, has elements of Buddhism throughout.

"The Dharma Bums was published one year after On the Road made Jack Kerouac a celebrity and a spokesperson for the Beat Generation. Sparked by his contagious zest for life, the novel relates the adventures of an ebullient group of Beatnik seekers in a freewheeling exploration of Buddhism and the search for Truth."

You want it filled with horrors and despair?

I'm not sure what your taste in literature is, really, so I'm just pulling a bunch of things off my mental bookshelf for you:

West With the Night by Beryl Markham

The Painted Bird by Jerzy Kosinski


Garlic and Sapphires by Ruth Reichl

Eve's Apple by Jonathan Rosen

Big Sur and the Oranges of Hieronymus Bosch by Henry Miller

Anything by Wally Lamb

Diary of an Oxygen Thief by Anonymous

This is Erol's hilarious standup-comedy channel, where he exposes corrupt cops, serial-killers, kangaroo courts, "paedophiles," social-workers and all the other "hostile-dependents," including puppet politicians and the slowly-genocidal Zionist Jews, behind it all.

I.e. The evil beasts who hide-in-plain-view; You've almost no time left because of them and are "surrounded" by magical-thinking, evil, deliberately "worth-less," incontinent-assholes, who are "sex-offenders" obsessed with the illusion of "transference," which if they can't get you to "choose" to cause yourself brain-damage, the "cerebral" sex-offender then
becomes "somatic."

So to save "yourself" and your family, in the little time you've got left, allow yourself to be "deprogrammed" by a hilariously-funny profound genius, who simply "reflects" the truth, in times where you're executed for knowing, what Erol selflessly and morally ROARS !!

http://Youtube.com/ErolOnShow

Erol has dedicated the last 20 years of his life, to helping poor families, internationally, work their way out of poverty. All proceeds from his works go to helping fatherless families have a better standard of life. "Knowing" this, the psychopaths who's wages "you" are paying, have tried and are stilly trying to commit every offence you could imagine against him.

This is a link to all of Erol's music, which is free. The 1st 4 albums are taken from his 1st novel, "Veracity Vs Adversity." Which is a musical-picture-book, Erol Christened "The Mook."

http://Youtube.com/ErolOnMusic

This is the link to his novel, "Veracity Vs Adversity." Where the art work and literature make it the greatest "Mook" of all time. The writer, Erol, is the world's leading light on psychopaths and in this deeply moving novel, Erol documents recovery from P.T.S.D., exhibiting his renown for "knowing" the inner workings of the brain of the psychopath, due to his
decades of selfless social-experiments with evil beasts.

http://www.amazon.com/Veracity-Vs-Adversity-Volume-1/dp/1494480212

This is Erol's world-famous wordpress site, where he exposes "top secrets" for free, which the genocidal hair-brained-bunch, don't want you to know, so that the extremely-self-deluded beasts can con-tinue to ameliorate against what they've "become," who simply see you as narcissistic "supply."

They're promoted in socities, when those countries are about to become "reset," as best seen in Dresden, only 7 decades ago. The meritless sex-offenders want to stand before you and get their "hit" from abusing you, especially covertly when you "look up to" them. Even-though they know that means they go-down with the Titanic too.

Erol has selflessly carried out social-experiments where he's exposed entire organised "rings" of sex-offenders, you're supposed to see as authority and he unravels the entire ball of confusion and simplifies it, for those with a "depth" of character and a concentration span longer than a tweet !!

http://Christlikebe.wordpress.com

You can see his art gallery, taken from the same novel, in this fabulous collection. Each work of art can be scaled to "any" size. The originals are all 4'4" tall. Which the literature floats above, on every page of the Mook.

What about the bobble heads book?

The Dharma Bums Jack Kerouac

SS: Released by Gloria Naylor in 2005. Sadly the book's Wikipedia page is a stub. Maybe we can change that? The book is available on Amazon, with reviews by other targets.

"How could he leave? How could he go? Everything he hated was here." Sabbath's Theater

Perfect end to a great book.

I am, but it's pretty intense, so I often have to take breaks while reading it. Highly recommend to everyone, it's called "My Struggle" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BCFZLJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_vUySub0DMC4AQ)

I've heard of it but since it's anonymous, I don't really know if it can be trusted. I'm interested in checking it out but I'm also wary of whether or not the author is an actual sociopath.

One book whose author is also anonymous and seems like a sociopath without actually saying so is called Diary of An Oxygen Thief.

I forget how to hyperlink on Reddit but that's here: http://www.amazon.com/Diary-Of-An-Oxygen-Thief/dp/0615275060

I am reading volume 1 of Karl Ove Knausgaard's six-volume My Struggle novel, and he is probably one of the most emotionally direct authors I've read. You really get inside his head throughout multiple phases of his life.

I highly recommend [Ishmael by Daniel Quinn] (https://www.amazon.com/Ishmael-Novel-Daniel-Quinn/dp/0553375407/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505685091&sr=8-1&keywords=ishmael+daniel+quinn) and [Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac] (https://www.amazon.com/Dharma-Bums-Jack-Kerouac/dp/0140042520/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505685168&sr=8-1&keywords=dharma+bums+by+jack+kerouac).

The narrators of both books are looking to understand life, or to put their existence in some sort of context. Over the course of their adventures, they find out how to exist in the world in a way that empowers them and celebrates their uniqueness.

If you're interested in CSI-type stuff, a friend of mine wrote a book that I found to be quite good.

Oh, Fuck you Book Vending Machine

I have this to give away. I'd check out the description and everything beforehand though, Coupland is probably not for everybody.

Hello all. This is a post regarding my debut novel.

| Synopsis |

Johan Nivens is an aspiring young filmmaker who has fallen deep into the Abyss following a turbulent break-up in Los Angeles. An inner well of despair which he seeks refuge from by moving back east to live with his father, only to find himself caught in a vicious cycle of boozing at the local pub where he ignites a fiery affair with a mysterious woman.

Despite the sparks, Johan is haunted by his abandoned dreams and decides that it’s time to hit the road and seek concrete answers for his turmoil in an ultimate journey of self-discovery. From Hollywood to the high peaks of Colorado, across the Atlantic to the City of Light, his adventure is narrated with humorous anecdotes and wholehearted introspection.

Inspired by author Steve Nahaj’s own wanderings, “Welcome to the Abyss” is a poetic tale of personal empowerment.

People have described this book as a literary abortion.

I think this is your next venture.

This page-turner would be very great to be able to read!

NZ is a drug corridor, if you didn't know. Lots of heroin comes here via Mexico and through New Zealand.

Not that it's enough to cause any kind of concern, most junkies around here are plain old meth-heads which the bikies supply plenty of. Heroin would be their competitors product and they do well to keep that shit off the streets. The "Invisible Hand" at work.

Sgo

Mickey Sabbath from Philip Roth's Sabbath's Theater is a pretty red pill character, and the book is hilarious. And Hannibal Lecter, also.

People these days are guilty until proven innocent.

He also mentioned "Nineteen Ninety-six" a book by Gloria Naylor that apparently describes such police harassment.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/166930.1996

https://www.amazon.com/1996-Gloria-Naylor/dp/0883782782

> This fictionalized memoir of the award-winning author, Gloria Naylor, tells a story of a massive covert surveillance operation perpetrated against her by an official of the U.S. government.

The reviews read like more disinformation but there is only one way of knowing for sure. Could they be fabricating / editing books to muddy the waters?

Well, a lot of people responded already, but here, I'm really sorry. Quick little fun fact, she's a co-author, AFAIK, what happened is, she rambled on and on about her stories and shit, and an actual author put that nonsense into written, readable form, so actually, the book MIGHT be readable. Still stupid as fuck, but readable. Saddest thing is, even though it was written like that, she now calls herself an author.

EDIT: oh... oh dear god... I just read the "highlights" someone mentioned... My brain cells... I can feel them killing themselves. It's THE most idiotic thing I've ever read. It... IT HUUUURTS!!!

A Shore Thing by Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Check out the tags toward the bottom haha

I pity the guy who had to proofread Snooki's book.

No, wait. I take that back. She didn't write it in the first place.

Oh look, he's written a book--

UNDOUBTEDLY The GREATEST Novel of All Time A Work of Art In It's [sic] Own Right

Fine, I apologize. Thank you for summarizing your main argument. It's an honest mistake to focus in on other details when I find them particularly interesting.

Let me post the definition of Intuition from Dictionary.com so we are on the same page when it comes to the nature of intuition.

noun

1. direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.
   
   2.a fact, truth, etc., perceived in this way.
   
   3.a keen and quick insight.
   
   4.the quality or ability of having such direct perception or quick insight.
   
   5.Philosophy.an immediate cognition of an object not inferred or determined by a previous cognition of the same object.
   any object or truth so discerned. pure, untaught, noninferential knowledge.
   
   
2. Linguistics. the ability of the native speaker to make linguistic judgments, as of the grammaticality, ambiguity, equivalence, or nonequivalence of sentences, deriving from the speaker's native-language competence.
   
   Now, as you can see the definitions offered do not make judgement on this form of cognition. Gut Instinct is a form of Intuition but it's only one form; there are higher forms of intuition. The point I'm making, and I hope it does respond to your summarized main point, is that intuition like creativity is demeaned by some Scientific members as a lower, plebeian form of analysis.
   
   The prejudice is the masses live by intuition, we scientists must be counter-intuitive to rise above a standard of thinking that is refined. I am more of a Mathematician than I am a Scientist having studied Economics (hence the utilitarian prejudice I hold). To me and to other Mathematician's I have met the Art of Proof, Analysis, Elegance is an Intuitive Process. I can post an analysis I have made and show it comes strictly from intuition.
   
   Now, going back to Dictionary.com's definition if this gift existed in you wouldn't you tap into it? If you had a keen observation for the universe and first principles of intuition would you not tap into it? Remember the first definition shows: direct perception of truth. I suspect the problem is many Contemporary Scientists lack this gift so they assume it does not exist.
   
   Going back to the main subject, Gay Theory and Homosexuality in World War II. Isn't it odd the statement in effect is made, "wouldn't it be great if this was read in enlightened times?" Isn't it odd their letters were never read by their superiors who would have condemned homosexuality? Isn't it odd in the plethora investigation of World War II this is coming to light in a particularly Homophobic period. Intuitively, there are so many things that don't add up I am suspicious of it and prone to disregard it.
   
   Edit:
   
   Now, in regards to this particular matter. Add awareness of this 6 VOLUME SERIES called My Struggle which is a completely fictionalization of the gay experience presented as complete persecution by society with a supremacist tinge to compensate and you get a better idea of the matter:
   
   https://www.amazon.com/My-Struggle-Karl-Ove-Knausgaard/dp/0374534144/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1504381642&sr=8-2&keywords=Karl+Ove+Knausg%C3%A5rd%2C
   
   Then add a Google Search Results with, "Gay Theory My Struggle," or, "Gay Theory My Suffering." (not just for Gays, but for Minorities Ethnic and Religious, so you can type Hispanic Theory My Struggle or My Suffering, I am Hispanic) and find tailored results of propaganda. Here is a result:
   
   https://www.google.com/search?q=Hispanic+Theory+My+Suffering&oq=Hispanic+Theory+My+Suffering&gs_l=psy-ab.3...135129.138578.0.138816.28.16.0.0.0.0.432.1779.1j5j1j1j1.9.0.foo%2Cnso-ehuqi%3D1%2Cnso-ehuui%3D1%2Cewh%3D0%2Cnso-mplt%3D2%2Cnso-enksa%3D0%2Cnso-enfk%3D1%2Cnso-usnt%3D1%2Cnso-qnt-npqp%3D0-1633%2Cnso-qnt-npdq%3D0-5608%2Cnso-qnt-npt%3D0-1229%2Cnso-qnt-ndc%3D2051%2Ccspa-dspm-nm-mnp%3D0-06145%2Ccspa-dspm-nm-mxp%3D0-153625%2Cnso-unt-npqp%3D0-1506%2Cnso-unt-npdq%3D0-4694%2Cnso-unt-npt%3D0-061%2Cnso-unt-ndc%3D300%2Ccspa-uipm-nm-mnp%3D0-007625%2Ccspa-uipm-nm-mxp%3D0-053375%2Ccfro%3D1...0...1.1.64.psy-ab..19.7.1496...0j0i22i30k1j33i22i29i30k1j33i160k1j33i21k1.q08uVCil_do
   
   
   Now, intuitively look at the results they never include any of the words written in the search. So, how do you explain that? What seems inferential is often just rationalization when presented with a contrary reality because all evidence is there.

I continue to do the same with Dharma Bums. There's something about not getting the book back that's I secretly enjoy.

much better

Here is a fictional psychological thriller I wrote based on true events. It is something of a cross between Psycho and A clockwork Orange. Here is a link for anyone who would like to read Mommy, I Don't Want To! https://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Dont-Want-Chris-Friedman-ebook-dp-B07PM8XNSK/dp/B07PM8XNSK/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1554576045

Paris Hilton's dog is an author. And Michael Jackson's monkey doesn't even cite a ghostwriter on the cover.

I think you're disingenuously overestimating to what modern, non-academic authorship implies. People are given book deals not because they're grammar police, but because they have something other people may pay to hear. Sometimes that is Snooki's attempts at erotica, sci fi written by models. But the requirement for modern, pop authorship isn't literacy or even writing ability, a publishing house can provide ghostwriters and editors to fake those.

They can't fake a brand.
