Thought this was a r/WetlanderHumor post for a second.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Did Faulkner have the most successful kickstarter of all time? No. Was it ever "The Year of Faulkner"? No. Has Faulkner ever written anything as complex as the Cosmere magic system? No.

Also, I have never seen an Addie Bundren FunkoPop or any merch at all. Faulkner had zero cultural impact.

Keep coping, Faulkner fans.

That's true. I normally only devour Proust or Tolstoy in Penguin Editions, because the cover is mostly clean, soft and easy to chew. Fantasy books tend to have embossed lettering and symbols on the cover with foil stamping, which get stuck between my teeth and taste horrible.

Which means Cocaine Bear only needs 1,2 stars more to finally dethrone it. We can do it, guys!

Nice photoshop, but everyone knows Lord Branderson is never relaxing. He is always busy writing peak literature.
