Like, maybe a PDF or ePub version of it?

I'm talking about this one here.

Today’s discussion questions are…

  1. What are your favorite fantasy series, if any?

  2. What are your favorite sci-fi series, if any?

  3. What are your favorite horror/weird fiction series, if any?

My answers:

A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin

Sci-fi series would be: none

Horror fiction would be The Terror by Dan Simmons.

Bonus question:

What is your favorite fantasy character or list of fantasy characters?

Mine are Stannis Baratheon, Davos Seaworth, Robert Baratheon, and Maester Pylos.

Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server that me, BayArea415, and some good friends created:

Enjoy!

What books are you interested in?

Ok that's a lie, I got animal farm. I got it because because my English teacher seems obsessed with it but I was luckily spared from doing it in class and instead I'm doing An Inspector Calls. I thought I might read it so that I have a better understanding of it in case I need to refute it.

Wish me luck,

Yours truly

I'm currently reading Gideon the Ninth and that's about it. Everything is either history or organizing (though I'm reading less of that for the time being).

Its not just an biography about Che, it is about what he was as an person, an ML, an Guerrilheiro, How the world around him changed him, and how he changed the world. It might be an very long book, but trust me you are going to learn so much stuff from it.

Enjoy.

(Audiobook is actually kinda fun, especially if it's a short story.)

Hey, this is a continuation of the topic from this thread here.

I thought I'd continue this now that we're a much bigger community.

I recently started a full collection (by Delphi Classics) of Edgar Allan Poe's works. I'm still near the start (because it is a large collection of his entire repertoire).

And, on that note, I'm still going through Ambrose Bierce's repertoire of novels, short stories, etc. (I think the collection I'm going through is also Delphi Classics).

I've also started Romance of the Three Kingdoms (of the recent English translation), specifically its first volume.

I kinda stalled on the two other novels a mentioned last time (Acceptance by Jeff VanderMeer and Book 2 of the Three-Body Problem series by Liu Cixin).

So, basically, I made more progress on the long-ass collection of Poe and Bierce's entire list of works than I have for the two novels that I could probably get through in a day for both. 😅 But I don't mind, tbh. I read a lot of good non-fiction books on the side and finished them (though we're here to talk about specifically fiction in this thread). So it's all good. Hell, I'm actually going to take a brief break from non-fiction to more "lighter" fictional works. I may start the next The High Republic novel next (the recent one in the spinoff series of novels that came out for the Star Wars EU under Disney about a year ago, I think). In addition, I'm still almost done with VanderMeer and Cixin's work respectively so I'll wrap them up and pick one more book (I... kinda have an itch to essentially read 6 fictional books at once, but mostly, I'm going to use the month to de-stress just in case I may need it; not because I recently got stress, but simply to be careful).

Not sure what else to say.

What are you reading in terms of fiction?

What will you read next?

Anything you like in particular?

Anything you didn't really care for that much?

Discuss all that and more so long as it has to do with written fiction or anything related to it.

👍👍
