Have any books seriously made you change the way you view the world in weird, indirect ways? Fiction specifically?

Does /lit/ love this or do we agree that it was kinda gay nerd shit for high schoolers who want to feel smart because stupid plot twists were hinted at three books ago?

Looking to start this. What am i in for? Havent had a long commitment book since east of eden. Is this entry level reading for sf/f?

What was the main takeaway here?

Ok which one of you told me this book was like dark souls?

I am mad, I went out and brought it and am halfway through reading it and it is absolutely nothing like dark souls...

This is closer to Master and Margarita than dark souls. Half way through and their has been zero sword fights, one fight with plants? and thats about it.

Does this thing turn around in the second half and go dark souls mode or have I been trolled?

understand a fag?
