Respect is a loaded term.

It would be better to ask for 15 books that will help you UNDERSTAND women, and then you can decide after that if you want to respect them (or if they have earned your respect, however you view respect, you get what I mean).

it's shocking to realise how little journalists know about what they're writing about

Wow this is bad.
>basic bitch choices for the OP (they're mostly very good, don't get me wrong, but so tasteless and bland and 9/10 at best)
>first response literally Bill Bryson
>replies to first comment are 'eats, shoots and leaves'-tier choices of pop-non-fiction
>second response literally Terry Pratchett
>Shogun, meh choice but certainly not 10/10
>Count of Monte Christo. It's like business class version of Shawshank Redemption. (jfc I bet this guy thought he was being insightful typing that shit)
>deleted comment (based on response it was some meme erotic fiction)
>East of Eden, six comment threads in before the first half decent recommendation, although again very obviously not 10/10 despite how good it is, and also bland as fuck
>Flowers for Algernon, 'literary-scifi' meme book, okay but 6/10
>The Princess Bride, holy shit reddit please stop, please just stop
>All Quiet on the Western Front, guy obviously hasn't read anything since year 8 English classes

and it just goes on and on and on...
really, why is reddit the way it is? how can they be so unaware of themselves?
it must be something to do with the format and dynamics of the site, right? like how you can't be anonymous, how everything gets a vote and so 'mean' (read: critical) comments are suppressed so nobody feels the need to better their taste or reading list, comments getting removed or blocked by reddit jannies etc.

it's so pathetic

you said this in the last thread. You're disillusioned with life we get it. Life's always been unfair get over it. You just secretly wish you were one of those wealthy children with class membership cards because they got away with bullshit you didn't

>I'm writing about dragons as a fat black woman, and it's f*cking political.'
But why though? Why does she HAVE to make it political? Can't she just write a good piece of literature without the political crutch/shield against criticism?

It's all so tiresome.

>"consistent characterization"

As long as you remember the basic wesen of your character, then they're always consistent. Consistency and consistent characterization is a venn diagram, not a circle. You do this by giving them an conflict and a want and a worry, etc, that never even have to be mentioned in the story itself.

For example:
>Adam wants to get Alice's attention.
>Adam used to be beaten by his father, so he doesn't like seeing people get hurt.
>Adam is worried that he won't find a job when he graduates at the end of the year.
Now you've got a pretty stable character, that even if he contradicts himself in dialog or action, as long as it's a result of one of these facts, is still consistent characterization.
