Are you allowed to mark "Dune Chronicles" if you just read the first one?
Mason Foster
Demon Cycle, That next Riyra universe book Age of something, there's more but I can't remember
Gabriel Watson
The Unholy Consult In July Second Book of the Licanius trilogy in August Next Stormlight Book in November Next Dragon Safari book in august
Just off the top of my head
Christopher Ward
Lotta memes in there.
Jackson Sanders
Always start with Asimov
Jaxon Perry
I saw in the other thread someone says they purchase rifles to hand out on Patrick Rothfuss' birthday.
Is this because Patrick Rothfuss is against gun ownership?
I was thinking I would try to power through the rest of a wise man's fear but if he's that much of a cuck, like his characters, I just won't do it.
Dominic Moore
Age of Myth -> Age of Swords
I listened to Age of Myth without having ever heard a Riyra universe book before. It was great.

A question about Three Body Problem, i'm only halfway through the first book.
Is the Three Body game single or multiplayer?
When Wang logs into the game does he interact only with NPCs or are the other historical figures trying to figure out the sun's movement real players and the people hydrating/dehydrating NPCs?
Tyler Barnes
they're real people, acting/posing like historical figures. It's explained a little better later
James Nguyen
what should i read after the book of the new sun? cant bother with all those hardscifi shit
Luke Torres
What are you looking for in a series ?

Adam Perez
an interesting plot, not being a textbook on science or magic, what i loved about tbotns was that i really wanted to keep going and reading all the time, finished the four books in like 2 weeks (can be considered to be not that quick by some, though taking into account other obligations in life and the fact that english is not my native language it was quite a fast read for me)
Nathaniel Turner
That list was voted in by reddit right?
Hudson Perry
Oh. It's you. I remember when you first read book one and called it a dragon safari. You actually waiting for this? The WHITE is gonna be all over. and time travel/ prophecy is done too much for me to care about white's blood. P.s.Were were also the user who coined "breeks"?
Evan Carter
Didn't even make it past American Gods before closing the tab. God save us.
Colton Rodriguez
I just finished up with the Star Wars books concerning Meme Blueman, are there any other good books in the old or new canon?
I remember dropping Path of Destruction some time ago, I got bored quick on that one.
Ayden Reed
never really touched sci-fi before, but I've heard a lot about Story of Your Life being really good. Any truth to that?
Jayden Price
>reading fan fiction.
Luke Brooks
I burn through books fast enough to have time as long as they aren't total garbage. Hopefully some of the PoVs work better in this one, I'm giving this book the benefit of the doubt.
And no, breeks is some other user
Elijah Perry
>Mark Lawrence comment in the cover
Is it edgy?
Nathaniel Foster
I've mostly read sci-fi so I can't really comment on it's standing as good literature or anything. But they're decent stories, with some good concepts. Worth a read definitely, but there's more interesting stuff out there.
Nathan Gomez
Kek I got 19, thanks specialised hard scifi
Sebastian Myers
user, Star Wars became fan ficion of itself the moment Return of the Jedi came out.
Im not too concerned to be honest.
Camden Edwards
>reading treason >it's perfectly normal for a guy to naturally turn into a tranny with breast and vaginas Which one of you cunts suggested this?
Matthew Thomas
>No Olaf Stapledon >No Stanislaw Lem >No Fritz Leiber
It's curious how formerly well known works can fall out of favour. A popular poll of one hundred SF+F works doesn't even have Robert Howard's Conan or Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser. These are two key works of the genre. Elsewhere Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom, once tremendously popular, only scapes into the list.
Austin Jenkins
>Robert Howard's Conan It's there. So is your Canticle for meme.
Charles Evans
You're right on Conan, #68. I enjoy a whinge about polls as much as anybody. Still, no Starmaker, Solaris, or Lankhmar volume? It's enough to make one spill sherry on one's smoking jacket.
Nathan Green
It's tragic, at least forgotten popular work constantly gets rediscovered, there's no hope for tons of great fantasy that'll go permanently forgotten.
Josiah Sanchez
you know, calling everything a meme is a meme that is getting old in enough itself
oh boy I cant wait for it to spread to reddit
Owen Jones
Anyone read any Julie E Czerneda or Elizabeth Moon?
Curious to know if they're any good.
Jacob Ramirez
No. It's a comfy dragon safari with a bit of pirate hunting and a sub par political spy nonsense pov
Bentley Brown
Lots of jobbers will be forgotten, the Lin Carters of this era. It occurs to me Frederik Pohl's Hugo + Nebula winner Gateway isn't on the list either. Not an obscure book, and one of the better new wave sf texts.
I have a hunch that reader interest in Jack Vance is simmering. Authors come back a few years after they die. It could just be wishful thinking.
Daniel Hernandez
I'm worried even authors as popular as Brunner will be forgotten, I don't think I've ever seen pic related ever mentioned on /sffg/.
Dylan Nelson
>Forgot to upload pic I'm fucking retarded.
Anthony Turner
The ones worth reading in Star Wars are Thrawn Trilogy → Hand of Thrawn Duology → Outbound Flight → Choices of One → Thrawn (2017) → Command Decision → Crisis of Faith
Once you've finished that Asimov's Foundation Series and Ninefox Gambit are two other series that complement it well.
Jack Phillips
>vaginas OwO
Austin Reyes
Thanks for the warning user. I swear I have to fully research every friggin recommendation from this place, sort of defeats the point.
Jason Smith
>it's perfectly normal for a guy to naturally turn into a tranny Picked the fuck up.
Jonathan Morales
Totally lazy, I agree. user should have said A Canticle for Memowitz.
Benjamin Peterson
I like the X-Wing series. Especially the Allston ones.
David Thomas
>sort of defeats the poin No user, that is your half of the recommendation transaction. We attempt to rec you according to your tastes, and you do your due diligence so we don't have to hear the whining if someone missed the mark :3
Cooper Jackson
You mockery wounds me.
A Memeticle for Leibowitz is obviously the superior choice.
Connor Gonzalez
This shame I shall never absolve. Humbled, I await your perspicacity.
Jaxson Garcia
There's a big difference between someone missing the mark and someone slipping in a book that sounds good but has secret propaganda or w/e slipped in. That's why I said fully research, i'm not just talking about looking at the blurb here.
Parker Bailey
You fool! Dont you realize that we are merely mastrubating each other in complete disregard for the topic at hand? There is no point to perspicaciy.
Quick, think of a book relevant to this particular discussion!
The First Law books are not that edgy for GRI standars and they are not even that bad, anons who think otherwise are total fags.
Nathaniel Diaz
you always run the risk of getting all the important plot/plot twists spoilered while researching a book though
Charles Jenkins
Which is why I'd rather be able to trust the recommendations I get from around here!
Leo Gray
Alas, that it comes to this! Woe betide such indulgence and those in its practice. If my faggotry abounds then doth yours tenfold! For I hath believed the memes, and will not bestir even a mote of my being in the pursuit of their veracity. >book that sounds good but has secret propaganda or w/e slipped in. Good sir, thinkst you not in this CURRENT YEAR OF OUR LORD all trifling poesies be awash in the same?
Noah Nelson
I mean c'mon guys, it's 2017!
Daniel Rivera
Lawrence is praising Ryan because he copied the shit out of Blood Song for his latest book
Anthony Nguyen
... Vaporware?
William Reed
Moon's good, Deed of Paks is really good adventure fantasy, the second book drags a bit because it's entirely heroic trials but it's worth it. I've not read any of the other series in the setting.
Vatta's fun intrigue and space battles, I haven't read the new one but the original series is enjoyable, not as good as say Vorkosigan saga but still fun space opera.
Her muh autism novel is probably the best written work of hers even if it is the least outright fun.
Angel Edwards
And Ryan copied the fuck out of Powder mage for the Dragon books.
Michael Hill
Except he misssed the most important part of blood song, which is that he stuck to a single PoV. Instead you have to deal with one good, one bad, and one mediocre pov just like in the worse books in the blood song trilogy
Julian Long
I'm saying Lawrence is praising Ryan because he copied him
Ryan can't really copy himself And the POV in the Dragon book isn't as bad because he actually has characters this time. In Tower Lord it was a massive issue because only the Blood Song MC and maybe the princess had an actual character. Everyone else was just Vaelin but with a tweak.
Dylan Cruz
Someone mentioned Honor Harrington a couple of threads ago and how repetitive it is.
It changes with the 7th and 8th books, fantastic story about her being captured. If you've gotten 5 or so books deep already it's worth reading through.
Wyatt Wilson
If you managed to get through Name of the Wind, let alone a part of Wise Man's Fear, you are the cuck user.
Michael Gutierrez
Name's got the writing flaws but the story is fast enough to get past them.
Wise Man's Fear is impossible to get through because nothing fucking happens for a third of the book
Xavier Smith
>story is fast enough nothing fucking happens. We're introduced to this faggy olde timey europe tavern where Kvothe calls himself Kote (brings to mind shit) and he acts like a jaded 80 year old despite being 25. Then we go back in time to learn that he was an elitist gypsy faggot before Voldemort and friends murdered his family. Then he went to Wizard school and had a really hard time paying his tuition fees which you wouldn't understand unless you've been desperately poor, and to make things worse Malfoy's prank got him banned from the library.
There. 1000 pages of fast-moving plot.
Thomas Thompson
I can't argue that logic.
Chase Foster
lets not forget the girl that he is a legitimate cuckold of.
Chase Taylor
Is Queen of Fire worth reading? I really didn't enjoy Tower Lord
Anthony Ross
>but has secret propaganda or w/e slipped in. Yeah heaven forbid an author write about what they want, obviously if you personally don't agree with it then it must be propaganda. Honestly seeing how easily triggered people are by stuff they don't agree with makes me wonder if I'm even on fucking Veeky Forums right now.
Jackson Ramirez
Trigger warning: secret propaganda
Jose Fisher
Only if you want to join us in rage when it's mentioned. Like how we rage ar adare. FUCK ADARE
Isaac Bell
>heaven forbid an author write about what they want No one said that an author can't write what they want.
>if you personally dont agree with it then it must be propaganda You notice themes when you consume enough media, which you clearly do not.
>easily triggered I just don't want to read a book about a tranny. If I was easily triggered then I wouldn't have finished half of the books on my shelf because they often contain things I don't like.
Get over yourself faggot.
Joshua Young
Is that Neal Gaiman's book?
Jayden Lee
So the way you are phrasing it makes it sound like it doesnt matter but I'm one of those people who just must read everything in order.
Do I read the complete Riyria Revelations series first or is there some point where it breaks off into the other series?
Ethan Cooper
Are you afraid that you might secretly be a fag? And that reading about fags might make you want a dicking? You're already long gone. Once you like anime, you are a sleeper programmed faggot.
Dominic Lee
>Do I read the complete Riyria Revelations series first Yes.
Colton Bennett
I am honestly not sure. I am listening to the Riyria series now. I learned things that would have made reading Age of Myth different. I can't really tell what would be better since I have not finished the Riyria series.
Someone else answer this?
Andrew Morales
Why is it that The Prince of Nothing has a lower score on Goodreads than most of the books recommended here?
Not saying that the score has any credibility. I'm just curious what drives people away. Don't tell me it's because of graphic shit because Daughter of Blood is said to have that yet it is above The Prince of Nothing
Juan Long
>youre just a repressed fag Ah, this old libtard argument. If I was scared of reading about faggots then I wouldn't have read Robin Hobb or GRRM. I just don't like reading about mentally ill people, which is what trannies are.
Aaron Stewart
The tableware covers. Didn't even have to read it.
Leo Hughes
Bakker isn't exactly a good writer of prose
Couple that with all the rape and the reliance on loads of long nonsensical names and you can see why people get put off.
Colton Hernandez
Trannies are mentally ill, and faggots to boot. Doesn't change the fact that anime programmed you.
Wyatt Gutierrez
>give me more (you)s even though I gor my answer Neck urself
Ethan Allen
>guy posts a load of attention seeking bollocks >immediately follows it up with a picture containing both Trump and anime of course you fucking did
Carson Nguyen
Where did this shit about anime come from?
Nathaniel Wood
Probably that 1 talent whore
Jace Wood
>having a conversation is attention seeking >t. no friend autist
Where's the image with Trump & anime?
Leo Green
Role-playing as a retard.
Connor Campbell
Fair enough.
Joshua Ortiz
Any good books with Werewolves/Shapeshifters?
Zachary Scott
I find it funny you have this stance. When I sneaked into /lgbt/ to see what the fags do there... And apparently pol is lgbt's bf. They all say they want.. some even say that they have pol bfs. A lot of the trannies there voted in your impeachment.
Anyways. You might like treason. It's short, and yes the protag is a tranny, but he also hates blacks. I don't know how Card gets away with it.
Ian Thompson
Look
Elijah Ramirez
What's the sci-fi equivalent of Robert E. Howard or David Gemmell?
Luke Ramirez
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Gabriel Morris
I meant more inline with 'future tech' kinda sci-fi. But I've never read any Burroughs so I have no idea if he wrote any stuff like that. I just really dig the idea of Conan the Barbarian with a blaster instead of a sword.
