I use my portable printer to print image related. I then glue it to her face (using saliva as glue) as punishment for not understanding her own message.

>post modernist garbage
>referencing literature
Just say cultural marxism if you're referencing the referencing post modern social critique/theory/whatever. Any SF&F writer that tries to step away from the genre part of genre fiction, defying the mold created after Tolkien, is somewhat post-modernist. Hell, second only to Gravity's Ranbow (which most would not even call sci-fi) BotNS is arguably the defining post modernist work of SF&F.

Image related, it's you and possibly also the post you're replying to.

>go to the pirate bay
>it's up
Shocker. Instead of arguing this retarded point I'm going to point out that never in history have the availability of books and information been better. If I wanted to read some controversial and widely banned book, Mein Kampf for example, I could literally start reading within 5 minutes without paying a cent. And without any risk to my social life. The fact that you're mad about whatever you're mad about doesn't change that.

The writing is literally the reason LotR is amazing.

How is culture dead just because a couple of the manifestations you fetishize died of half a decade after they emerged?

Even if you were right (you're not) and Jonathan Strange lacked all literary merit you're still comparing a somewhat original setting to fucking Eragon, the most uninspired, generic story in fantasy. It's absurd.
