They don't - and won't - care about it. As a group, they have no personality beyond their aesthetics. They all dress the same and worship name brands. They do dances on tiktok for attention instead. They are that shallow, and that soulless. Why would they care about learning anything, or being immersed in a story that is completely separate from the attention of their peers?

I don't usually read woman authors, but this is the next book on my list.

It's nice to see other fans of Clavell. Have you read his other novels?

Few other recommendations:
Storm of Steel
Heart of Darkness
Lord Jim
The Snows of Kilimanjaro (short story)

Yeah, what bothered me about Harry Potter was that Voldemort was treated as this horrible person for being obsessed with "wizard purity" or whatever, but Harry and his pals still use what is in their world racist slang and generally think themselves a superior race. Maybe it's just British culture, but the wizard bureaucracy gave Harry a bunch of crap and he just puts up with it without wanting to change the system.

Every time I think that I've hit rock bottom in man-child-itude, I look back to the Harry Potter fandom freaks who are pushing 30 and still think the series makes relevant philosophical/sociopolitical statements, and I just laugh and laugh and laugh.

I have a question: why have we gotten something like 3 awful new namefags in the past two weeks?

Are there any books that deal with fantasy world tax policy more than ASoIaF?

What is it that has caused Harry Potter to leave such a lasting impact? It's been 20 years and people still obsess over these books like they were released last week.
