The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant is a bizarre series that I am having a hard time describing. The short of the long of it is that it is about a dude with leprosy who gets isekai'd and the first thing he does is r*pe one of the inhabitants, but yeah, also the chosen one to save the world and shit.
The first of the original trilogy is Lord Fouls Bane

I feel like 1Q84 would make a really terrible movie unless like David Lynch did it or something.

I assure you I do not subscribe to nazism/nationalism/fascism nor have I taken part in the gassing/ethnic cleansing of 6M* people within the last century …… however, if you have proof to the contrary you should report me 🤨 and unlike you I can own up to what I do — instead of hiding on sub and calling folks names.
