There's literally no reason to be writing fantasy in 2017
Every conceivably good or mediocre idea has been done at least 12 times by now
I don't usually read much fantasy or sci-fi (read Forever War in high school and BotNS recently), but a guy I know is trying to lend me the Kingkiller Chronicle. He says its the best thing he's read but wouldn't tell me too much about what its about. Any of you guys know if its worth a read?
Why didn't he just become her boyfriend? The adoption thing fucked everything up.

I'm interested in reading Ibn Battutah's Travels, however I can't find much information about available translations and whether or not it is abridged or completely compiled in English.
What is the best way to read it?
just fucking read it, the most interesting take away for me is that islam was pretty progressive compared to some of the retarded shit people believed back in the day, and also that every rich guy in the world had a bunch of acrobats doing the same tricks
try looking at the words dumbass
So, /lit/, im a huge fan of mob films and games, but i've never read any book of this type.
Could u guys reccomend any books set in the 60's or 40's? If its mob related, that would be awesome.
Read The Godfather by Mario Puzo
Just finished this, might honestly be my new favourite novel. My only gripe about it is that i wish it was a little longer, do you lot have any similar books/novels i could sink my teeth into?
