What are you guys currently or planning on reading?
Going to pace myself from now on, so I’ll be just reading a chapter or two. The chapter I read is Daenerys’s fourth chapter, and by far it’s been the best one from her so far. In the sense we get to learn more about Dothraki and the Dothraki sea worldbuilding. But truth be told, I’m tired of Martin just making them caricature of the Mongols, the city was great since it shows they’re okay with actually building something, instead of being nomadic. Daenerys standing up and hitting Viserys was okay if only I grew tired of Viserys shit at this point. But overall, Daenerys chapters have been hit or miss for me.
Why was the thread deleted? My post was on-topic. You could have just deleted every post but mine. Now I'll have to post it again but it won't be as funny.

The idiot mod is deleting actual discussions and threads today, it’s not just this thread

I've nearly finished reading The Day of the Triffids. Please recommend me some more modern post-apocalyptic classics. Thanks in advance.
Nicholas Hill
It's pretty good but the character writing is lacking.
Finished rereading PKDs first short story collection, then hopped over to Doctor Who Timewyrm: Exodus and now : Revelation. I will likely read a few more DW stories while the fire is within me.

Jannie's having a melty. You ban the /pol/tards, you don't delete perfectly valid general threads that were made after the last one hit the bump limit. If this fag's a regular here, he's one of the Bakker/weebnovelfags as those posts were never deleted and derailed every thread for over a year.
Swan Song The Stand The Road Alas Babylon Earth Abides Lucifer's Hammer I Am Legend These are the ones I could think of off the top of my head. How was Trifids? I actually haven't read it yet.

Bakkerchad book club in Quebec coming soon, only hunks will be accepted as members, twinks can be guests but they will have to sit on the floor near hunk feet, their opinions will be discarded but they can hang out to entertain hunk Bakkerchads.
rec me some books where the antagonist is an incompetent who takes his job very seriously and receives no compensation for it

>Aching God >Every female character is a Mary Sue turbo badass genius >Names are some of the worst ive ever seen in a fantasy book I would have dropped this shit long ago if it weren't for the horror fantasy aspect

Has someone asked GRRM whether Jon Snow's parents have been mentioned in the series?
Oliver Hughes
Yes I read the series in march and I think it's absolutely worth reading You may balk at the number of pages but trust me, the writing is very simple and the pages go by very quickly
Jonathan Gomez
I honestly think it's just gonna be R + L = J. I know there are other options, but I don't think he plans to subvert that.
Aiden Wood
Yes, absolutely. They're really good and very engaging
William Powell
Any fantasy stories featuring big and wondrous cities?
Do we know how the Fantasy and Science-Fiction market evolved? Is it getting more popular or stagnating in volume of sales but also quality in content? Are the consumers of Fantasy and Science-Fiction in novel form dying out? Are the younger generations just buying more stimulating content like videogames and movies? Does that mean the audiobook the future for novels?
Jace Ramirez
Books in general are dying out. Webnovels and self publishing is the future of prose fiction.
Currently on chapter 6 of Mistborn 3: The Hero of the Ages. This series took a deep dive during the final arc of the first book; there are way to many asspulls and the 2 protagonists are too immature for my taste. I'm gonna finish it because I read it aloud for my gf.
>Currently still reading the Kane collection Night Winds Are you reading a sentence a day? What the fuck.
Lucas Evans
>I hope the protagonist does ruin everything for everybody again Can't think of any book from the author where that doesn't happen. Personally, I both hate and enjoy that sort of thing.
Andrew Sullivan
Really? I drug myself through season 1 and felt like my humanity had been insulted. I've come to immediately associate the series with rebbit
John Rogers
Season 1? If you mean you watched the tv adaptation than yeah, it's not great There's way too much sex and nudity in the tv series
Hunter Taylor
Fuck off nigger, S1 is the most true to the shitty books.
Caleb Sullivan
Yes I know but it's inferior due to it being essentially pornography
Anthony Kelly
The other user here. Only watched season one and agree entirely with his description. I did hear that it only got worse with time.
IMO the story ended when they killed sean beam. And it was a bad ending. The continuity from that point in the story was tenuous at best, and the plot seemed to lose focus except for dragon skank feminism powertripping archetype.
Just finished Canticle and am considering starting his follow up. Is "Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman" any good? Are there any good biographies to Miller's name?
Any books about humans being the most racist organisms on the entire galaxy?
John Powell
Ive just finishing reading Malice by John Gwynne, thanks to the user that recommended it a few threads back. I highly recommend it for anyone thats looking for non-woke old fashioned high fantasy with morally flawed characters. Dont let the generic cover put you off.
I read Guardians of the Flame in high school (around 20 years ago). I decided to re-read this year. First 4 books are good, they are pretty mindless but still fun. Book 5 is meh and Book 6 is absolute garbage. I've just started 7 and it seems to be just as bad as 6, the only saving grace is that it's very short. Anyone else read this series? Are the 'Not' books that come after book 7 any good? I realise there is no conclusion as the author died but I'm already prepared for that.
Looking for a new series. Is Malazan Book of the Fallen worth reading? What about the Expanse series?
Christian Ward
No to the former. I liked the first book of Expanse, and the second is readable, but it takes a double backflip dive off a cliff in terms of quality beyond that.
Nathaniel Perry
Interesting. I had heard both were good. Any other series suggestions then?
Caleb Rivera
> Is Malazan Book of the Fallen worth reading? Definitely no. Instead, read The Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwynne.
John Harris
Can't really give recommendations if you don't tell us what you like.
Luke Watson
Currently trying Mistborn, which is utter garbage.
Just finished the Wizard-Knight, and really enjoyed it. Wolfe is an easy favorite. Before that I read Bakker. Also enjoyed that.
I'm not super picky as long as the writing and premise are good. I do actually have a particular penchant for horror.
Evan Barnes
You might like the Chalion series by Lois Mcmaster Bujold. A bit of a palate cleanser after all that edge.
Aaron Rivera
We can only hope.
Christian Cook
Got an elevator pitch for it?
I thought Wizard-Knight was a good cleanser. Nice and simple. Similar feel for your suggestion?
Also, thanks to you both for giving suggestions.
Lucas Russell
>I thought Wizard-Knight was a good cleanser. Nice and simple. Similar feel for your suggestion? Chalion is a classic fantasy. No world ending stakes, no wars, no ancient evils. Each of the three books in the trilogy is a stand alone, and all of them are smaller scale, more personal stories.
