/lit/ - Literature

What's a series a bit like a more mature Discworld? Used to love those books as a kid. Now that I open them I'm...well, underwhelmed. Actually, this is the sense I get when I open most books these days. Tried Malazan and Cat's Cradle (which probably isn't Sci-fi) and, wow, that feeling hit me pretty hard. Same with Game of Thrones (except far worse, its prose is nasty). I recently got into Book of the New Sun and, wow, I actually like it even if it might be a /lit/ meme.

I'm in that weird place of being a pleb but also being picky.
