I read a ton of sci fi lately but not much else, wondering what kinds of books CE considers 10/10, what's the best thing you have ever read?

I dont have a favorite yet but theres a few contenders.

Best idk, probably Game of Thrones tbh, that book was crazy and I wish so badly I could go back and read it again for the first time.

Otherwise Id say something like Pride and Prejudice or one of the other greats.

but my personal favorite is probably the Dragonlance Chronices from the dragonlance series, I think.

Taking note on a lot of these.

Otherland series by Tad Williams is one of my favorites.

The Illuminatious! Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Wilson is a great mindfuck, unpredictable one that is wildly entertaining to read.

They are a lost art. Long gone are the days of quality video game booklets, sadly. There were some real great ones, it was the first thing I did in the car when I got a new game, or rented one if it was in there.

I think the whole Malazan world, despite being conpelling, is really poorly put together.

But Jesus Christ, Memories of Ice was so good.

I can understand that. Based on interviews, Erikson seems a lot more concerned with telling a story than making sure the world is internally consistent. The timeline just doesn't work, for one thing.

I think my uncle read those.

He was a crazy fuck, but he had good taste. I should check em out.

My issue isnt really internal consistwncy, its more that I dont believe that the world is real when every book has characters take on three or five different world ending threats. The timeline is tens of thousands of years and I just dont believe creation has managed to survive for as long as it has with the powers lying around every corner.

Also basically every character is an Aristotles level philosopher in their internal dialogue and I just dont think thats good character writing.

A bit too many DEMs as well.
