Not your auntie's hymn book, is it?

The books put the show to shame. You would not waste your time reading them anon. The show twists the characters to sell to mainstream entertainment, while Martin writes to dwindling fans of written text, not pandering at all. Though he writes a lot about food and fluff, and the sex is more gratuitous than the show, the actual meat and potatoes of the story is much more complex and better in my opinion.

i have only read the first book so i don't have much to go on but overall i'd say the book was better than the show, mainly because you have a window into what characters are thinking when things happen to them or around them.

the prose isn't great, though, and i don't find the characters or story to be interesting at all. but i tend to dislike pretty much everything so...

read the first book. even though it seems long, it's a pretty quick read.

Thanks fellows. Looking forward to remembering the author's poor looks while reading the sex scenes.

my dad is a sports journalist with a couple books and my mom worked in the newspaper game awhile, too

I wrote about not-sports for a couple school papers and then was a columnist for a media group covering MMA. Now I have a memoir project cooking

Not in my family, but I went to high school with someone whose mother is a bestselling author of some fantasy series
I haven't ready any of the books, but I understand they're sort of Twilight-esque.

My uncle published his first novel last month. My grandfather also wrote a novel manuscript about 30 years ago but lost it.

John Green doesn't write books, he writes toilet paper for the use of deathly cholera patients in their final moments. As for psuedo lit, I got weirdly into Anne Rice when I was about 13, I can't really explain why.

But in all seriousness, it's probably Pynchon.

It would be kind of a winding staircase into nothingness that I suppose he thought would be deep.

Atlas Shrugged

I have no idea how to answer any of those questions

Earth Abides.

Same book but with a few more people, a magical negress, Flagg, Trashcan Man and the Monster Shouter.

None of the Ilvermorny houses seem to be the "bad" house like Slytherin.

What makes you think that Hufflepuff isn't Horned Serpent lite, etc?

>>8233313
Hufflepuff is all about gay shit like following the rules and being a super nice person. Horned Serpent is about expanding the mind and progressing knowledge, like Ravenclaw.

i just dream about sucking my mom's dick

i dreamed about you sigmund, you were on a boat, i floated onto the boat, you wanted to care for me (i could see it in your eyes), you offered me your extremely young daughter (by hand gesture), she was wearing a light old fashioned dress and sun hat, was blond, though i was not so much interested in her than focused on your presence, the dream was black and white, i wanted to hear something from you but would not want to open talking with you - i was in fact resistant, extremely reluctant, i wanted to avoid you, what does this mean mr. freud?

I dreamed that Jung made Freud faint multiple times due to his rekt, rigid worldview. And that true armchair psychologists consider Freud a fraud.

1 and 3 are both absolutely baseless and false.
Art should not be an "economic" question at all on a large scale. That's an autistic engineer's line of thinking.

Yes, let us ban all humanities degrees as well. STEM master-race xD!!

>tfw all philosophy boils down to the 2nd law of thermodynamics

utility isn't as central to human experience as whoever wrote this believes. being is impractical in itself.

and anyone who cites tvtropes in order to further an argument can only be so credible.
