Read it in Highschool. It was a cozy read and for that much alone I enjoyed it. Felt like I was administering myself a nice little bed time story, I felt like a kid again.

We were given it in our college level literature class though so that was a kek.

>generally yes, in terms of actually talented writers, the fantasy genre has few: gene wolfe, ursula k leguin, mervyn peake, jrr tolkien (obviously), and john crowley are the only ones who can be argued to have any semblance of literary merit.
I like how everyone here is pretending like George RR Martin isn't the greatest fantasy writer of our generation simply because he's popular with normies now or because of his political views

Cabbages and Kings is fiction but has a lot of great insights that also apply to the coffee industry.

Are there books with a porn addict protagonist?

I don't know if you're baiting but however sincere your intentions are, you also happen to be right. Stoicism precludes change. How do you know what you cannot control if you do not try to control it? Passivity is a mistake. Expressing and acting upon vindictive behavior is not contrary to nature. Rational judgments are not the only thing under our power. It is all a matter OF power.

big lel, brainlet.

"God is good" is not just a brainless church slogan. It's a statement of philosophical fact and revealed wisdom.

The Tatar Steppe (it will tell you what you don't want to hear but need to)
Something Happened (it is what you will become if you don't listen)
Dream, Death, and the Self (it will explain why you are only contingently who you are (but you can't change that now))

yeah gimme that energy

/lit/, can you recommend any good books on the concept of the "realpolitik" (i.e. non-partisan, anti-ideological, purely pragmatic politics) and it's application in the real world?

Something modern would be appreciated.
