sellerdore 10/22/20 1:22:48 PM #3:	I finished up The Magicians trilogy by Lev Grossman over the summer. Excellent books IMO. It does a great job at sidestepping the inevitable Harry Potter comparisons, and although it dips a little far into the "teenage angst" vibe, it makes up for it with some excellent world building and a great cast of characters. --- "Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs..." http://www.last.fm/user/kmal415 <cite>sellerdore posted [p:946157967] in Last book ...

TheCodeisBosco 10/22/20 1:33:55 PM #6:	I'm currently reading "Satan is Real: The Ballad of the Louvin Brothers" by Charlie Louvin. It is absolutely wild. I picked it up because I really like the Louvin Brothers' music, but even if you're not a fan, it's totally worth reading if you have any interest in some real-life Southern Gothic stories. Before that, I read "Farthest North College President," about the founder of University of Alaska. Also great and surprisingly funny; it isn't a dry academic read, that's for sure. --- The music was thud-like. The music was... thud-like. <cite>TheCodeisBosco posted [p:946158442] in Last book ...

Feels like a slog to get through Definitely agree that it starts slow, but those books definitely get going later on, and they end up making for excellent high fantasy. Personally, I think I enjoyed Sanderson's Mistborn series a bit more, but overall I think you can't go wrong with his work. Stormlight just takes a little time to set up the worldbuilding and stuff.

MacadamianNut3 10/22/20 4:24:59 PM #18:	The Library at Mont Char I was interested because it was about some OP magician taking in a handful of kids and teaching each of them to be an expert in one specific thing to the point where nobody could dream of ever challenging them in that area. Examples are talking to animals, necromancy, languages, combat, and so on. Wish it was a series instead of just a one shot thing because the author only barely touched on the process on how they learned their craft over the years and mostly focused on a murder mystery. --- Roll Tide & Go Irish <cite>MacadamianNut3 posted [p:946165577] in Last book ...

I finished The Stand earlier this year and was so disappointed. The Shining is impeccable, though. Huge King fan here, btw.

IIRC the first book is pretty tame although there's some violence here and there It gets more violent and sexy in the later books, in the 5th book Frank was clearly horny >_> It's not too far from how Star Wars presents itself, so if you think Star Wars would be too violent for your kid, Dune will be also --- He was born in a coop, raised in a cage, children fear him, critics rage, He's half alive, he's half dead, folks just call him Buckethead <cite>sauceje posted [p:946204226] in Last book ...

It's very complicated though, so I imagine a few of the concepts and nuances might be lost on a youngster, but still worth it. But no, no surprise NSFW type of things. <cite>Cocytus posted [p:946204361] in Last book ...
