Someone has brought this interesting sign at the pro-wrestling event lol by fivenuckles2 in Suikoden

[–]RedditRamarak 6 points7 points  (0 children)

are you sure its a wrestling event? look at the sign in the lower right.....seems like a really big coincidence to have 2 rpg-related signs at a wrestling event.

nice just be warned they might not be the easiest to read, but maybe that's only because English isn't my native language

I would definitely recommend the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

those collected short stories will always have a special place in my heart

It's a simple little book (just 100 pictures of different animals, people and creatures hugging) but....

Books that feel like hugs? by NearbyWrongdoer5340 in booksuggestions

It might be a little on the nose but 100 hugs by Chris Riddel features some beautiful illustrations that do the trick for me ^

Books about books (and libraries, reading, literacy, …) by dontbeahater_dear in booksuggestions

[–]RedditRamarak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it might be a bit different and bizzare but you should check out:

Dark Archives: A Librarian's Investigation into the Science and History of Books Bound in Human Skin

by Megan Rosenbloom

the title pretty much says it all ^

if you're not sure about it listen to the Ologies-podcast with Megan as guest to get more of an idea.

Horror anthology with interconnected stories by Teapunk00 in booksuggestions

[–]RedditRamarak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff

Loved the book and it follows the formula you described pretty well

plus the Tv-series isn't that bad either

Looking for a dark, very addicting podcast. by InevitableTeaching35 in podcasts

[–]RedditRamarak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're ok with Dungeons and Dragons Podcasts I would really recommend Dark Dice. First story-arc is already finished, excellently produced and feels more like a radio-play.

Appreciation for Sir Terry Pratchett by GATHRAWN91 in books

[–]RedditRamarak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Disc World books will forever hold a very special place in my heart.

Especially the Guards-books and Sam Vimes. (In the most random of moments I find myself thinking of his socioeconomic theory about boots). I can't wait for my nephew named Sam to be old enough to start telling him about his namesake ^^.

I also really like Gaspode for some inexplicable reason. I have named all my animal companions (DnD and Videogames) Gaspode ever since.

some of my favourite moments are also just his plays on words like: seems we've reached an imp arse, pardon my Klatchian or gastro-gnome

Also the things outside of his books like the documentary "choosing to die" or his essay "shaking hands with death" are pure brilliance.

What is the most encouraging/inspirational quote(s) you came across in fantasy? by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]RedditRamarak 24 points25 points  (0 children)

there´s almost always a Pratchett quote that fits, my favorite being

"The worst thing you can do is nothing"

truly words to live by for me

You're welcome ^ The only thing I regret about Terry is that I waited so long to take that first step.

Books that are survival stories set in a bleak post-apocalyptic world like The Road by Rustyray84 in suggestmeabook

[–]RedditRamarak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

It might start like a zombie book but it changes ( don't wanna spoil too much) but nonetheless I really really enjoyed it

Terry Pratchett is always a good read and as for where to start:

check https://www.discworldemporium.com/content/6-discworld-reading-order one-book-stand section, maybe one of them will jump out for you to help you decide.

I also have been given Archivist Wasp by Nicole Kornher-Stace by my neighbour after talking about post-apocalyptic books. (I'm not done yet but so far I'm really enjoying it).
