/lit/ - Literature

Because I don't have the audacity to consider myself hot shit in writing, or that I have anything to add to the world.

You're a wanna-be dumb fuck who writes for the bragging rights, you're not a creator, you're a teen wanting to become famous and a star.

how about you read them faggot, since you want GOT in space

RR Martin actually wrote sci-fi, if you bothered to look up his work OTHER than what you saw on HBO. I prefer his sci-fi stuff, Dying of the Light particularly.

>validate what I plan to read /lit/
just read it you faggot its on gutenberg

>hurr people who post on /an/ can't post on /lit/

Stop being retarded, everybody loves their pets.

Cannons appear in that universe too, just not during the trilogy. It's during The Heroes that you first see cannons.

I'm at the chapter where two guys of the "community" are teaching him how to throw chakra- I mean chi- into a woman. Absolutely hilarious.

That being said it does have some tips and I'm glad I'm reading it. I don't picture myself ever approaching a stranger for a one night stand in a club though, and this is basically all this book is for, to trick the more stupid women into sex. When they go into any upper class place with non-sluts they aren't successful in the book either.

I think it helps you to overcome the teenage obsession over being a virgin, an AFC as he'd call it.

Why don't you post threads like this on /soc/ or askreddit since that's where they fucking belong?

I don't know you massive faggot, what's your opinion on hearing vs sight?

Getting sick of these daily threads, there should be a better sticky so you retards don't skip reading it.

Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson

what this guy said (appart from blood song that I haven't read yet)

I also want to say that in Wheel of Time handcannons and regular artillery appear later in the books.

And there are other examples, if you bother to look beyond the top 3 bestselling series.

please stop talking out of your ass with these generalizations

The world in Way of Kings has power armor, and a few stuff that are remnants of a higher tech level from past ages.

In the Abhorsen Trilogy the tech level is at world war 1.

In the Mistborn trilogy the tech level is medieval, but in the book the Alloy of Law Sanderson advances the tech levels to guns and trains.


I can understand how retards with these preconceptions about this genre will skip a lot of great books. It doesn't make you any less retarded though.

way of kings by sanderson

actually try mistborn from him too as that trilogy is finished

then maybe glenn cook's black company chronicles

robin hobb's farseer trilogy

Stop being a retard and mention the language in which you plan to read this book.

English is not the only language for which there are translations.

it's pretty clear if you're not a total retard that he says there's no particular guide to writing, except for constant practice and more importantly a love for reading

>>4027650
correct

The Five
Way of Kings

this is where having a kindle/e-reader is great, instant lookup in a huge oxford dictionary for a lot of terms

have you tried reading on a kindle (or better) e-ink display?

no eye strain, and the lightness of the thing you are holding make it easy to forget you are reading off something that's not paper.

he's asking what people are shitposting with, not the attention whores who want attention doing it

yes OP, some faggots try to stirr up trouble in fantasy threads saying "fantasy isn't literature"

that's it really

I want to punch him every time I read about Maine

But yes you can definitely tell it's stephen king writing, he ALWAYS, ALWAYS, makes his characters witty smartasses, normal people don't talk like that, Stephen.

Joe Abercrombie's Red Country and The Heroes come to mind

The Heroes is a 3-day battle, Red Country is a tale of revenge
