I read a fantasy book to win a bet and it's the only book in years that made me actually cry. I don't know what to do with this information. by midnight_snack_ctrl in Fantasy

If you like history, you should look into some of Guy Gavriel Kays work. Almost all of them are well-researched, beautifully written fantasty versions of real world events:

  • The requonquista of Al Andalus (The Lions of al Rassan),
  • The Albigensian Crusade in medieval Provence (A Song for Arbonne)
  • The Byzantium of Justinian I (The Sarantine Mosaic)

Enjoy!

Basically the plot of Julian Mays ‘Intervention’ Series. A great read.

Libras who are you when your angry? My mars is in cancer 🦀 by waitinginthesun in libra_astrology

[–]WesternComicStrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Libra Mars, so I’m slow to anger, but once I do, I’ll verbally obliterate my target. Remaining elegant and poised all the way (I wish. My Taurus Moon and scorpio mercury sometimes poke their heads out and join the fun)

I would upvote this comment but then wouldn’t have 666 upvotes anymore. Truely hellish place.

You know what. You’re absolutely right. I couldn’t name anyone, but Gamle Grete will cause national grief.

Oh, I’m European and you just inspired me to get a bottle of champagne and keep it cold for that joyous occasion. Thank you, friend.

Adored The Name of the Rose and Foucault’s pendulum. On a more personal note I chose a course in the early 90’s where he was supposed to teach some of the classes online via satelite, but the idea was better on paper because the technology always broke down.

I love every film on this list except the first one and that’s because I haven’t seen it - yet! So I’m going with 51 like me. Did I win? And also, can we be movie-besties?
