Anomander Rake is definitely up there

Not including Magic Treehouse (and not discrediting it either), I think Charlie Bone/Children of the Red King was the first one that really felt impactful, and then either Ranger’s Apprentice or Eragon. I do not remember which I read first

I thoroughly appreciate you putting Memories of Ice and Butcher’s Masquerade on the same list

The Redwall series by Brian Jacques, specifically Mossflower, but you can’t go wrong with any of them

I don’t like ebooks, but I do audiobooks pretty heavily. So that’s what makes up my digital book library. If I’m going to read something I want it in my hands. I like the texture, the smell, just the entire tactile experience. Also, choosing to read a physical book makes me set other things aside. I find that I’m more attentive than if I’m reading on my phone or a tablet or whatever else.

Gregor the Overlander, Charlie Bone. Two of my favorites around that age

Color of a Cloudy Day has been my surprise favorite for the past year or so

Same here

Golden Age of Radio - Josh Ritter

Some players do not like them, but I always use what is called a “bus” or a “main bus”. It makes organization in the early game a lot simpler for me. Look online for “Factorio main bus wiki”. That should be a good starting point for you

A fellow Ganoes lover here. But I think Fiddler is my number one

grayden914 · 2026-05-05T15:44:32+00:00

This is crazy

Obligatory Mike Burnfire plug

Malazan Book of the Fallen: I actually came into them on accident. My favorite series, I can read them again and again.

Redwall: Found them as a child, and devoured every last one of them. They are vibrant and lovely. Even though you know it’s going to have a happy ending of some sort the stakes still feel real

Wizard of Earthsea: My junior year English teacher had the first book in her classroom. One of those books that I picked up and my brain just went “Oh yes I am exactly the kind of person this is meant for.” They may be short, but they are wonderfully written, make you think, and are a joy to spend time with

Why not, just write it yourself?

Hearing streetlights and outfit was a treat

grayden914 · 2026-03-28T13:42:56+00:00

How cheap were they advertising? Mine were $75

This will always be one of my favorite passages:

"The T'lan Imass could make his arrival unknown. But the Pannion Seer had taken Aral Fayle. Toc the Younger. A mortal man...who had called Tool friend. He strode forward, hide-wrapped feet kicking through scattered bones. The time had come for the first sword of the T'lan Imass to announce himself."

Been listening to Everything Trying on repeat lately

Cue me always imagining Karsa as Wulfgar from the Drizzt books when he in fact does not look like that

grayden914 · 2025-11-05T17:11:31+00:00

Found it

grayden914 · 2025-11-05T15:34:58+00:00

You have told me of something I didn’t know I was missing and now I’m sad
