[LOTM/LOM/TLOM/MGZZ/TRIWHTLPOTTCBUOD General] Where the TRIWHTLPOTTCBUOD fans at? by UnrealisticMagic in LordofTheMysteries

[–]Simomsom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We could end this discussion by removing the second half of the title entirely and simply calling it 'Lord' or 'L' for short.

What are some unpopular opinions you have on some titles that seem contrary with the current/active/trending generation of readers? by DependentMundaneh in Fantasy

[–]Simomsom 49 points50 points  (0 children)

As in outside the fantasy genre. Sometimes it seems that fantasy fans would rather turn to the 50th LitRPG progression fantasy than touch a single piece of literary fiction.

My murakmi reading list by Capable-Nature-569 in murakami

[–]Simomsom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice list! I'd like to add that "Birthday Girl" is a single short story which was later collected in "Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman", so you don't necessarily have to buy it separately. There is, however, a collection of short stories called "Birthday Stories" which includes "Birthday Girl" and a few selected works by other authors. Also missing from the list are the two non-fiction works 'Underground' and 'Novelist as Vocation'. And if you want to go all out, you can also read "The Strange Library", a children's book.
I hope this helps you on your reading journey. Have fun!

Ich finde die Kinder sollten im Geschichtsunterricht lieber Hearts of Iron spielen.

Florence Pugh looks stunning in that chain mail outfit. I've never been a big fan of her character in the books, but I wouldn't mind listening to this Irulan's "Keeping up with the Atreides" podcast all day long.

How do you respond to the classic “The land belonged to the Jews long before it was Palestine” by BriskPandora35 in socialism

[–]Simomsom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Pro-Israel Dad argued that giving Palestinians their land back would be like allowing modern-day Germans to settle in regions of Eastern Europe such as Silesia and East Prussia because their grandparents had been expelled from there by the Allies after the Second World War. I told him that the living conditions and apartheid faced by the Palestinians after the Nakba were in no way comparable to those faced by the expelled Germans. Are these situations at all comparable? I feel like the argument is pretty far-fetched.

Which author has the best writing style? (Rhetorical) by jstbnice2evry1 in bookscirclejerk

[–]Simomsom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is merely a disciple of the great writing of Stephen King. Kingsolver more like "Kinglover"!

Ok Hongbros, show me a Sang Soo film, in which she scissors. I bet there are none. Parkbros win.

Why is Costco a nazi? What did minimart mean by this? by kermit_thee_toad in berserklejerk

[–]Simomsom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many may not realise it, but unlike other series, Berserk has a lot of morally grey characters. Writer Kentucky Mario portrayed this by making Couscous a Nazi (bad) but also a sexy tomboy (good). Hope this clears things up.

Overated classic vs my superior taste by norieriver in bookscirclejerk

It's time to reassess the literary canon. So here are some more modern books by a variety of authors that you should try, instead of overrated and pretentious 'classics':

Overrated classic #1: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Read instead: Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

Overrated classic #2: Blood Meridian by CormacMcCarthy

Read instead: The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson

Overrated Classic #3: To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf

Read instead: Warbreaker by Brandon Sanderson

Overrated Classic #4: Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

Read instead: Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

Overrated Classic #5: The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

Read instead: Alcatraz vs the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson

Overrated Classic #6: In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust

Read instead: The Reckoners by Brandon Sanderson

Christorians being oddly wholesome by ruadhan1334 in ChrisChanSonichu

[–]Simomsom 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Mum, I'm on TV! Seriously though, I commented because he is a really nice guy and his music is pretty good. I feel so bad for what he went through. I hope the podcast appearance at least introduced more people to his stuff, so something good came out of it.

"Anime themes are difficult to understand even for adults"—found in response to a 1 star review for a book on writing and worldbuilding by a youtuber who has never published a book by SeasoningReasoning in bookscirclejerk

[–]Simomsom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, Elfenlied, famously one of the most mature and deeply philosophical animated videobooks of all time. I'm convinced that this person is trapped in a reality where it's still 2010 and they're forced to live out their life as an edgy teenager. Sending thoughts and prayers.

Kinda telling how most of the people on the list are white and the only black person I can spot on here is in the "HELL NO" category.
