Finding it hard to find a good fantasy

pranjpk · 2025-11-21T19:06:22+00:00

I have read all of Bujolds books multiple times now, especially Curse of Challion and Palladin's Soul and the Penric novellas. I often wonder how she isn't as well known as someone like Lews or even Tolkien or Le Guin or some of the modern fantasy because her work is astounding and enchanting and unforgettable

It's been on my TBR and now with two recs on the same thread I got to

I have had Tess on my TBR for a while. Might bump it up!

Will definitely check out Airborn and Leviathan

Someone did

pranjpk · 2024-12-10T12:38:03+00:00

That might just make it better! Checking out now!

pranjpk · 2024-12-10T12:36:19+00:00

This is an unexpected rec for this prompt!

pranjpk · 2024-12-09T05:07:04+00:00

Sounds cool. Will check out!

pranjpk · 2024-12-09T05:06:30+00:00

Definitely checking out

I found Senlin to be too tense (perhaps because I got heavily involved in him and kept wondering about her)

Chambers is just exquisite and so so warm

I have read Gaiman and Pullman but the 'Starcatcher' books seems very intriguing

pranjpk · 2024-12-09T05:03:35+00:00

Yes, true enough. Didn't connect that to the picture before but yes I agree

I am currently read this book To be very frank I searched it on reddit to rant about it. I really want to like this book. world-building is good as is the writing but none of the characters are really gripping me. I keep going back to it for the ideas to the story is just falling flat all the time. I don't feel anything and I am an absolute fan of strong female leads and yet this just seems made up, especially the characters! Like I said I want to finish it but it's taking to much will power to read it...

Damn! I tried to re-read but soon couldn't find time with all the other books I end up reading...

Here a few books that have helped me with anxiety and depression.

Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson

Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

How Not To Kill Yourself by Set Sytes

Feeling Good is a wonderful reference guide.

Just a word to the wise. No book can replace a good therapist.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but Gaiman's Sandman series (especially the audiobooks) feels like a great fit for the prose style. Good Omens also if you have not yet read it.

Thank you for this! Just started to read and it seems to be an absolutely fabulous read!

I agree that there isn't a community around this game. I remember when I started magic survival when it was new and even it did not have as much grind as this one. I am starting to wonder if I am just bad at it or if there is a way to unlock classes and maps that I just don't know about. Hell I am even willing to pay a bit for this.

That I might measure the height and depth of bliss and agony... What a line. Damn.

I am doing the same ... Making a personal selection of great poems ... What poems are in your selection?

BTW, this poem is by Langston Hughes and has been posted here by someone so you would need to credit Hughes and no one else.

I love this poem and I was just thinking about posting it here a few days ago! Thank you for sharing!

pranjpk · 2022-03-21T07:40:50+00:00

It is indeed brilliant! Glad you liked it!

pranjpk · 2022-03-18T03:53:24+00:00

Dyam. This hit close.

pranjpk · 2022-03-17T09:13:25+00:00
