The Bible

Doesn't Le guin turn into a hardcore SJW later in her career?
Maybe the earlier works are not as tainted.

Read about ancient mythology, or books like Aeneid or Hesiod's work. I also love reading books like Beowulf or the Edda. They portray a mythical, sometimes even magical world, without it being mere genre fiction (they still reflect a reality as people believed in these stories, which makes them historical).

Many medieval stories are also very interesting reads in this genre.

Maybe, but you can still appreciate something even if you don't agree with its politics.

Eddison too. Comfiest fucking fantasy this side of the medieval period.

This has to be a joke, nobody's this pathetic

It's a thinly-veiled sff rec thread

You can, if you have no ethical compass.
