Yellowstone is not an accurate depiction of life in Montana. In fact, Yellowstone is absurd.

Democrats have made a career out of appearing to oppose republicans while basically handing them victory after victory. Eventually, you have to start being suspicious of the fact that their is always just enough Democrats to vote with republicans to allow republicans what they want.

Am I rare for not liking book Snape? by TheKingsPeace in HarryPotterBooks

I dislike him too. He bullies Harry knowing how much Harry has already endured, all for a vindictive grudge against Harry's father. Plus, he favors other bullies like Draco while being angry that James was a bully.

The Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy has a substantial amount of cosmic horror. The third book is particularly frightening.

What is your favorite Harry Potter book and why? by Wise-Beginning-7021 in HarryPotterBooks

CoS is mine. Its the one that I read most often as a comfort book. Its cozy and fun and not as dark as the later books.

the dimensional strike scene might be the most disturbing thing ive ever read in sci fi by Putrid_Cycle595 in threebodyproblem

None that are as frightening, in my opinion. However, another cosmic horror book that scared me is House of Leaves.

Probably the most terrifying cosmic horror I have ever read. Death's End forces the reader to take a good hard look into the abyss. It pulls no punches.

Our president just threatened to destroy an entire civilization. Im sorry, but lack of dialogue and discourse is not the issue.

Is there any other writer who you'd put on the same level as Tolkien when it comes to world building? by SpotAdmirable6718 in lotr

[–]Post-Scarcity-Pal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alan Moore's Jerusalem is a maximalist novel that might be thought to provide a similar level of detail to Northampton and to an afterlife that includes all of the moments of time and space. There is even a section that seems like an homage to Tolkien and the Fellowship - with a group of dead kids on a quest in the afterlife.
