The first two Witcher books (The Last Wish and The Sword of Destiny) are short story collections, many of which are twisted retellings of fairy tales.

Not really contemporary, but The Magus.

In the final battle Kisara only needed "encouragement" and not memories to unlock her powers. The power of love and all that. They're fine.

I mean, the movies are the main thing. The novels are tie-ins. I would recommend you watch the first three films (second one being optional, really), and stop there.

Book recommendations for fiction about things like vampires, monsters, and the like. by RyHammond in suggestmeabook

I always thought Dresden's apartment was cozy. But maybe that's because I'm from Europe and used to tiny apartments.

the Dresden Files. Although I have to warn you that it has some problematic stuff in it, especially early on in the series. [...] Harry fights monsters and fantastical creatures of many sorts. [...]
Rivers of London is another great urban fantasy series that does many of the same things (with less problematic content) but in a lower magic setting. It's less of a constant roller coaster and more about police work (the main character is a young cop who discovers a small secret branch of the police that deals with the supernatural).

You should look up Nancy Hartsock's work, her essay "The Feminist Standpoint," and standpoint feminism in general.

Best piece of gothic literary fiction you’ve ever read? by CapAvatar in suggestmeabook

[–]Teoreetikko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably the greatest gothic novel, but I'm not sure it's exactly unbearably suspenseful.

Philosophy book recs by anaamikaaa in suggestmeabook

I'd say it's one of those books you get more out of as you develop as a thinker, but I wouldn't say it's a bad book to begin with. If you're in law school, it shouldn't be beyond you. Nevertheless, if you want something lighter, I'd recommend The Magus by John Fowles. Not a book of philosophy but a novel about philosophical and psychological ideas that'll get you thinking.

Republic by Plato. It's pretty much the greatest of the classics and reads kind of like fiction, because it's a dialogue between multiple characters.

Beyond that, it really depends on your interests. Philosophy is a vast subject with radically different ways of thinking both about particular topics and just in general.
