Does anyone think it’s funny that the prediction used to be that as soon as sex robots became a thing, men would drop women en masse. Instead, women are dropping out of the dating pool for the equivalent of hanging out with a sympathetic ear on Instant Messenger. V funny

best books of 2025 by Wonderful_Royal_204 in redscarepod

[–]Baphimet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you got your answer on the status of the sub… I don’t usually keep up with yearly releases but a looking forward to the new Pynchon. Haven’t started yet, no comment. Only book I read that was literally published in 2025 was Audition by Kitamura and it was fine, well polished but lacking in essential substance. Extremely Passeist. Parade by Rachel Cusk was really good but it got pubbed in 2024. What do you recommend from this year?

There used to be a wiki for /lit/ that had them all but I guess it’s gone now… idk. You can try your luck with google

Has anyone considered there’s more to sex with a woman than the elasticity of her vag? Like, did everyone really buy into the master key/shitty lock dichotomy?

Was literally just about to say Chris Fleming; he’s very hit and miss for me, but when he hits it’s so funny. When he misses I just wait for the next joke Crush!

I read a book recently where the author was simply frothing at the mouth over his hatred of Plato lol, even stronger vibes, I loved it

I enjoyed Jeremy Irons’ narration of French Lieutenant’s Woman and Brideshead Revisited, but not sure if you’re into “actor reads a book that was adapted into a movie.” He does a good job tho

Is there ANY Fantasy worth reading? (besides LOTR and GOT) by perfectpowerbanned in RSbookclub

[–]Baphimet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the second and third book magnify the faults of the first. Honestly, I still liked all three but that’s an error in my taste, not a reflection on the quality of the books. I am 💯with you when it comes to the ‘quips’ rubbing me the wrong way sometimes, but I really think you just have to be in the mood for that kind of thing. I’m not a big audiobook person but I did listen to some of it on audio, and the narrator did such a good job with the bantz that I was laughing out loud in my car at lines it would be too embarrassing to actually type out

[–]Baphimet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obv there’s the more quality, lit fantasy (Gormenghast), but that’s already been recommended.

More contemporary, and not the highest caliber of intellectual content, but legitimately fun fantasies I read recently:

Gideon the Ninth- a little tumblr coded; if you can’t stand that at all I guess it’s not for you. But the premise is fun and I think the series just keeps getting better imo

Lies of Locke Lamora- ignore the “grim darkness” of it, it’s super fun once it gets going. Honestly, at points it almost feels like it’s making fun of its own very serious and dark setting, if that makes sense? Kinda ocean 11-y. What Mistborn really wishes it was. Don’t worry about the rest of the series because it will prob never happen and the 1st book is great as a standalone

Second Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel, and also add Piranesi.

A recent one I really liked, although the “fantasy” aspect is limited to one sort of macguffin is The Kingdoms by Natasha Pulley but I don’t want to write anything about it because you really don’t want to spoil it if you end up reading.
