I'm sorry where's the fucking books general thread then faggot. I thought I could talk about books here. While I'm at it I also need a recommendation on a good book for the three kingdoms (of china) story. My apologies if I don't know the meta of your fucking board homo. I've been too busy reading to learn it and then I made the mistake of thinking I could come here to talk to someone about reading. Keep choking on dick though I'm going to bump every thread from pages 9 and 10 now so as not to shit up the catalog, faggotfag.

Don't mind the pseuds. Having finished even one genre book means you've surpassed them in both quantity and quality of literature. Excerpts from the wiki of a philosopher and YouTube videos do NOT count as literature.

absolutely based

look into the classic Romance of the Three Kingdoms. it's long as fuck and kind of a slog but it's the OG wars and kingdoms autism story. the John Woo movie Red Cliff is pretty based and is a nice transitional experience to get you from "i know some of these guys from Dynasty Warriors" to having an image in mind when reading the book.

The priest tale was pure mystery lectio. The soldiers tale was cool because he fucks a tulpa into reality. You should go through the Poet and Jews story they were pretty fucking rockin. Then again what do I know I'm still stumbling through this shit.

That's what the fuck is up thank you my fren I will be putting that up next after this book and then watch the movie.

I have heard while hyperion is enjoyable I was told the rest of the books in the series were basically cash ins after the popularity of this book. Are they truly not worth reading or do they have merits that go beyond "hey remember that book you read?"

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 19 13:06:57 2021 No.18486178 >>18482328 No. Simmons bites off way more than he can chew and basically nothing from the first book has a satisfying resolution in the second

hyperion is unfinished, it just ends after the politician's story. fall of hyperion finishes the story, the two endymion books are useless genre trash.

I will fully admit that the two posts referring to ""worship" were me, but not the others. This board will literally just suck down the semen of anyone who screams faggot or nigger. Its fine sometimes, but Hyperion is a genuinely terrible book, and judging by the way nigger OP speaks and acts its either bait or he is a genuine black person who just discovered books. Im against fostering the spirit of reading in blacks. Good day. And Good luck.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 19 16:25:08 2021 No.18487217 >>18487127 Calling Hyperion 'terrible' is excessive and unnecessary.

OP here you're still a faggot. That said I am genuinely curious what would make you so defensive about this book besides the whole you never reading it thing. It was offhandedly recommended to me and while it was a laboriously slow start it does have the makings of a science fiction anthology mystery with good bread crumbs along the way even if they are few and far between. Were you perhaps filtered by the book or just triggered by my posts?

Whenever I think Lamias story is about to end she goes on another shenanigans side story. I just want to hear tree mans story and be on hyperion with the shrike for grills sake.
