>Tone is all over the place
>Style can either be really stiff or be kinda poetic
>Major characters are really inconsistent
>Big bad guy is not actually all that bad, only kills like 10 people
>Main character is kinda cool, but doesn't show up until the third act and he dies really quickly
>Pacing is confusing af
>WAYYY too much exposition in the first act. Like, entire chapters dedicated to lineage. Not even Tolkien was this bad
>Final act really drags on until last chapter
>Last chapter is actually really trippy but kinda cool

>MC comes back (are you fucking serious)

The Bible by God is a 5/10 at best. God should have hired an editor instead of self publishing

He should have spent the time writing this on raising his son instead. Maybe he wouldn't have ended up a pedophile shutin.

Asimov is a madman, I'd read it.

>women with big boobies, amirite?
the book

Asimov was a great divulgative writer. Haven't read the Bible one, tho, but I'm sure is great.

Breddy gud. Gives lots of historical and cultural context. Made me realize how little I know about the ancient near east.

The Agnostic's Prayer
(Roger Zelazny, Creatures of Light and Darkness, © 1969)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is perhaps the most famous prayer in all of science fiction and fantasy, and
yet it is also one of the most difficult to find.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Insofar as I may be heard by anything, which may or may not care what I say,
I ask, if it matters, that you be forgiven for anything you may have done or
failed to do which requires forgiveness. Conversely, if not forgiveness but
something else may be required to insure any possible benefit for which you
may be eligible after the destruction of your body, I ask that this, whatever
it may be, be granted or withheld, as the case may be, in such a manner as to
insure your receiving said benefit. I ask this in my capacity as your elected
intermediary between yourself and that which may not be yourself, but which
may have an interest in the matter of your receiving as much as it is possible
for you to receive of this thing, and which may in some way be influenced by
this ceremony. Amen.

Read his limericks instead

>There was a young woman named Rhoda
>As sweet as a chocolate soda.
>It was such a delight
>To screw her at night
>Then once more at dawn as a coda.
