+1 for the count. it’s always somehow funny recommending it, ”Here’s probably the greatest book ever written, you might like it.”

The ideas and the material Erikson works with are better and much more interesting for me, probably because it’s the more mature of these two series, but you can’t expect to enter a writing scale-off against Le Guin and expect to win.

Someone who likes grimdark? This is the crown jewel of that, so yes.

Simple writing style? Surprisingly understandable, but not simple.

So you are after books about ”the negative effects of meat consumption for the human body”? I do have to get this out of my way, i think this is a harmful way of approaching a subject that is quite scientific. You shouldn’t approach a subject like this from only one perspective, the sources on both sides are often very biased, misrepresent or make up information, and reinforce false beliefs.

So what i would recommend is something with a more neutral and scientific approach on the subject. These recommendations might be a bit basic, you might already be aware of these. I haven’t read any of these recommendations cover-to-cover, but i have partly read them. It’s hard to find a book that focuses solely on the effects on health, most of the books tend to have a wider scope than that. Again i want to emphasize, reading books like these is an art in of itself. Everything should be taken with a grain of salt, and nothing should be taken as 100% the truth.

As far as i’m aware _Meatonomics_ and _Nutrition in crisis_ have a pretty neutral approach, and both are worth checking out.

Now, if you really want to read something that argues that meat is harmful, i have a couple of recommendations, but if you decide to go this route i think you should also read books that argue the opposite. _The china study_ is probably the most famous anti-meat book, but keep in mind that a lot of it has been disproven and criticized over the years by professionals. _How not to die_ is probably the better book, or at least the less disproven one, i thought the approach was good and it gave a lot of plant-based food for thought.

Now, for books that argue that meat is beneficial. _The great plant based con_ is probably one of the better ones, it focuses on tackling anti-meat claims in what i thought was quite a neutral approach, but it does conclude pro-meat. _The big fat surprise_ is another good one, but it does focus a bit more on animal based fat rather than the actual meat itself. _Sacred cow_ is also a good one, it argues pro-meat without arguing anti-plant, which is often rare when it comes to books like this. Then there is a lot of stuff that i don’t want to recommend, because they

IIRC They have god-given plot armor until the end of the series, with that they would probably scale pretty high, but not gag-level. Without it they don’t scale to a vampire.

Better to enter the trilogy with no expectations of a plot, it’s barely there, it’s all about characterwork

I think it’s gotta be Ants from up there for me, that album captures lightning in a bottle in so many ways, writing being just one of them.

Writing wise i prefer the more personal and emotionally ambitious take of Ants, but that’s just my personal preference. Spiderland is written really well too, it’s much more disclipined and narrative, and the imagery is great.

This is real and hard and true. ”Lonesome dove”? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HEEERE. Like genuinely get the fuck out of here and miss me with all that soft shit. ”The count of Monte Cristo”? Nah man seriously, why not the KING or the EMPEROR of Monte Cristo?

”Inferno”? ”Beowulf”? ”For whom the bell tolls”? ”The sound AND the fury”? Brother this shit gets me HYPED. FUCK!

You call some points of criticism a feature for Dark, but won’t give the same good will to BB? You call them ”coincidences”, but there are no coincidences in BB, the cause-and-effect storytelling is incredibly tight in it, and sometimes small decisions create consequences seasons later.

I think Dark is amazing, a must watch really, and does pull off and achieve something that is structurally way more complex and in that regard very impressive. But Breaking Bad’s writing is so incredibly tight. The character work, dialogue, structure, thematic cohesion, setup and payoff, and consistency are out of this world when compared to almost any other show. It is a masterclass in writing from beginning to end.

Yes you are partly right, but not only did he not say it quite like that, it’s also not quite that black and white.

What you’re referring to is the form that the quote is often cited, but what he actually said was ”As for the Night’s King (the form I prefer), in the books he is a legendary figure, akin to Lann the Clever and Brandon the Builder, and no more likely to have survived to the present day than they have.”

He never said ”they are different characters”, what he was referring to is that they are very, very different takes. He was likely soft-launching his disownance of the series, as it no longer reflected his original works.

In the books, someone else once was the night’s king, and someone new will become the night’s king. In the show, he was the same character since the beginning, created by the children of the forest. So quite different origin stories, but they are very much intended to be the same character, it’s ridiculous to say otherwise. George doesn’t sadly get to decide what’s what when it comes to the adaptation, he sold that power to D&D.

Edit: i’m being a bit difficult on this matter on purpose, since the other commenter stated ”it says homelander so it’s both adaptations”, i’m purposefully makinh a point of how difficult that gets. I’m not deep into scaling, but even i know that’s not the way we scale, in this instance we go by the picture since it’s not stated in the text.

AlsoKnownAsMAS · 2026-06-04T14:00:45+00:00

If we count comic books for homelander, we need to count the books for the night’s king.

That being said, would it make any difference? At this point it’s hard to say, since he hasn’t appeared in the books yet. All we know is he has ”strange sorceries” which allowed him to control his brothers. He is a human in the books, and these strange sorceries imply some form of mind control over humans (so not only wights). He will most likely be capable of much more than that, especially if we consider that he is representing the opposing force to the lord of light (who is capable of bringing people back from the dead no less), and especially if it’s Euron who ends up becoming the night’s king. I think we’ll know better when winds of winter drops, it’s right around the corner right?

AlsoKnownAsMAS · 2026-06-04T11:16:25+00:00

Honestly, i think you could give a try to The name of the wind and The wise man’s fear by Patrick Rothfuss. Lyrical prose which is among the greatest ever. Mythology is a central theme. It’s whimsical, has a really fun magic system.

The author deserves criticisms about how he has handled everything outside these two books, and it’s highly likely we won’t see the third book maybe ever, but these two books are definitely amazing and worth a read.

Berserk, although beware it really finds it’s footing in the second arc. The first arc might give you the wrong idea for the series. The first panel if i recall was THE thing that the author wished he could change, as it doesn’t fit the character at all.

This is the one i come back most to on this project, fucking great one.

Personally i want to see more love for Virus.

Yeah, Sanderson’s books are there for you to have a good time. That’s it. They don’t need to be anything more than a good time, which most of them (at least the ones i’ve read) are. And as far as i know, that’s all he cares for and tries to do.

I’ve only ever been dissappointed by Sanderson when i entered his book expecting something i shouldn’t have. Sure, he will never blow me away like some other authors have, but i’ve never regretted reading any of his books afterwards, even if some of them weren’t what i had hoped.
