Game of Thrones is an entertaining read. Debunk that.

Why? No, seriously, why? What is there that's interesting or entertaining about him? His books are so repetitively slow, I just can't imagine the slog of reading through them. And don't you fucking dare mention worldbuilding.

Very little. Not that it matters. The main problem is: fantasy is popular and sells very well, but the bulk of its famous authors are people unable to reconcile decent to good ideas with a conscious effort to make their writing style worth reading. They want imaginative worldbuilding, stylish character, tight plots, and do this sometimes to very well, but they fail to recognize that good writing is the only way to take to a higher, deeper level is through good prose. The insanely long volumes they shit out is a bandaid for this problem.

These are both fantasies stemming from the same poison source. Christians created humanism and humanism created both liberalism and Marxism.

Why is /lit/ so obsessed with reddit icon Gene Wolfe? Fine for a teenager maybe, but it's not serious literature.
