How much time should be spent "playing"? Also, should I read fiction?

Just my $.02, but your conversations with girls might go a lot better if instead of spending time talking about movies, you can talk about cool things you did in that time instead. Tell her about that one time you went zip lining over your local lake rather than discuss Mean Girls with her. If she brings up a movie, then maybe you can move that towards a date back at your place where she shows you the movie.

You can't always be on. You need to be happy and enjoy life. Everyone has a different work/life balance.

What some people consider work, others consider fun. In fact, on any given day something could be fun or work. Sometimes I have to force myself to read a book that, the day before, I couldn't put down.

So, as per red pill standards, the answer is: do what you want, you are responsible for any benefits and consequences.

Read fiction and non fiction. I used to read at least a book a week, or more from like 5-15. Fiction books will help develop your mind

I LOVE reading good books, fiction and non fiction

All those books on that list are 'classics' BUT IMHO there are much better books to read than those, depending upon what you're interested in

what type of things do you like, do you like science fiction for instance? Or more a book like The Shawshank Redmption type stuff

In fact now I think about it, there's this amazing book called "The Laws of Our Fathers, by a guy named Scott Turow, and is one of the BEST books I've ever read, up in the top 5 easy! Google it to get an idea of the storyline, it was made into a movie but I've not seen it.

here, it's such a good read!

Incredible story, well written, mind blowing, great believable ending

will read again 10/10!

I usually feel the same, is there more to achieve, to do, to master in a day? But seriously, all work and no play will only make you miserable. Read whatever interests you, and if you want to play then go ahead. Fiction I heard, is better before sleeping, but then again, you read when and what you wish. I myself rarely read anything other than fact-based books.

Playing has its advantages too, just don't do it for 3-6 hours a day, and only start when your main tasks, or crucial ones are finished/ done with. For example, playing an hour before going to bed is not a big deal.

First, stop watching shitty movies. Second, stop assuming chicks want to talk about stupid movies. Third, do. Fourth, when you aren't doing, then read the hardest thing you can read that you can digest. Obviously, if you're not ready to read Kant, then you should read plato, then aristotle, etc. Read classics novels that are easy to read, such as Catch 22, Great Gatsby, Crime and Punishment etc. Avoid stuff like Moby Dick and Brothers Karamazov until you know what you're getting into (ie a slog of a book that will pay off when you're done). Last but not least, stop watching shitty movies. And TV.

I personally suggest The Night Circus as far as reading material goes.
