I'm only on the Sword of Lictor myself anon but there's something alien in his prose that I haven't found in any other fantasy writer. Not only in The Book of the New Sun set in a fascinating world it's told in a fascinating way.

Why is the fantasy genre so dumb? Most "avid readers" I know just run through 400 shitty fantasy books per year and literally nothing else. I don't see how you could see reading fantasy as productive- you learn literally nothing about the world from the story and almost always the characters are poorly written exaggerations.

How is this shit popular? Are people really so dedicated to masturbatory escapism that they read this drivel?

Moby-Dick: 10/10 Holy shit so good. Best in the English language IMO
Gravity's Rainbow: 8/10 Also quite good but his prose is confusing and convoluted. Overrated by some metrics but underrated by others. It was actually quite a pleasant read for the most part
Lakeside of the Long Sun: 5/10 Not a strong work from Wolfey boy. I feel like he started writing it from a very strong point and had a good ending in mind but stalled in the middle getting from A to B. Very boring.
