gigachad_brony they/them that's how you get the hobo stole my baby story  11mo ago (text post) 561 thread views #229627

I need book recommendations. Give me your best shot for something that you think I would enjoy reading.

The last book I read was about human intelligence.

The book before that was a 40k book.

The book I enjoyed the most recently was a B - class zombie book called the rising by Brain keene.

The book I currently got bored of is about human behaviors.

Go go go!

Recommend me a book you think I will be willing to read.

Thank you in advance.

It becomes harder to empathize with r-slurs if you have to actually see them instead of hear about them.

On the other hand I just am not into movies at the moment to be quite honest with you.

I would rather prefer to read for now.

Maybe in another lifetime.

Guide to writing sounds good to get started. I was going to go with the human zoo first but I looked it up and I might still read it later but its a bit outdated apparently.

Kind of hard to go off what you said so Ill just tell you what I would tell most people. For fantasy I would say A Song of Ice and Fire(read the World of Ice and Fire if you have already read the main series), the Lies of Locke Lamora, Malazan Book of the Fallen(The Kharkanas Trilogy if you have read the main series), the Witcher's Books(some parts are a slog but what's not is really good), the Long Prince Quartet, the Inheritance Trilogy, or the Broken Earth Trilogy. For non fiction I would recommend, The Personal Memoirs of U. S. Grant, The Campaigns of Napoleon, The Kingdom(about the House of Sa'ud), the Romance of the Three Kingdoms(historical fiction written 500 years ago but based on real events), Florence: A Portrait, Dreadnought by Robert K. Massie, or Meadows of Gold and Mines of Gems(if you can get a good copy). Also since you like like 40k I would either recommend the Infinite and the Divine or start reading the Horas Hersey(which is like 74 books in total).

Actually now that you mention it I don't really think I have. Obviously I have read some but their either things that most people have read or that I wouldn't recommend. I just don't get bored easy I guess. :tayshrug:

Depends. Did you get the summary from wikipedia or reddit.

Wikipedia generally does a decent enough job if its a multi multi para long summary.

Redditors are r-slurred and keep repeating the exact same points that miss 70-80% of what happened in the book.

I agree with you. I just don't feel enders game calling to me ya know.
