No, really, change my mind. I'm in the mood for a good fantasy read.

100 years of Solitude might not exactly be fantasy but its a lot better than Lord of the Rings

Nice thread OP
Start with victorian depictions of religion.
This is where most fantasy comes from and holds some of the first originals of fantasy produced for 'entertainment' and not actual depictions of which is holy.
You're not wrong. This was more of a desperate cry for help on my part disguised by smugness - I've been desperately craving some epic fantasy for a while and I can only reread The Silmarillion so many times. I decided I trusted Veeky Forums more than the shills i'd get from a Google search.
It's not really fair to say one of the best works in the western canon is better than that children's book. Plenty of things are better than LotR, that's not the question.
Well ill tell you Malazan and you can take it or you can leave it
Try Elric of Melnibone or Book of the New Sun. They're not as good as Lord of the Rings but they get recommended here quite often when talking about fantasy books.
okay so what's the deal with the crowder meme? It is meant to be funny or is it a sneer?
I think it's pretty funny; do liberals use it to make fun of him?
Is it only a proto-meme?
