Oh hi fellow boring water lover, hahah. Really enjoyed hearing your answers to all of these questions, Brian rocked this tag! And I loved your perspective on us being the OG fans for the Cosmere before things really start to blow up, I hadn't even really looked at it from that perspective yet!

I really think the Cosmere could be massive so its cool to be in early

Great answers! You're right, brown is a hard color to make pop but something about that design just works. Ian Fleming would be fun to talk to, I'd want to know about his time in the service during WW2. Hangover is a good way to describe what Cixin Liu does to you with that series 😂 my brain was deep fried by the end of it.
@TomOrange3 ай бұрын
I’m sure his time in the war would be something to listen to! And yes Liu never holds back in his books with the big ideas

Brown is my favorite color 🤭 and I don't DNF either, but I am very careful about what I start. Yes Memories of Ice has stalled me but I will get back to it 😵💫

Shadow of the gods is a sick referral for starting out in fantasy. I probably should have done that before memory sorrow and Thorn😂

Man Memory of Sorrow and Thorn is a thick series to start with. I still need to read that one actually

For the VIP one I’d have to say the three body problem series by cixin liu, now that the series is more popular than ever due to the Netflix adaptation I feel like I got into a secret club early. Also deaths end is one of my favorite books of all time too!

That’s a good point! Really anything we read before the adaptation

Great answers! With you getting a bit bogged down with heavier reads like Memories of Ice, I really need to convince you somehow into picking up Darien by Conn Iggulden. That trilogy is the polar opposite in terms of how easy it is to access the story, and we share so much in our sff taste that I’m fully confident the Empire of Salt trilogy will be a hit with you.

My favorite book is Death's End as well. So many people seem to prefer The Dark Forest the most. but for me that was the weakest of the three books, but I also didnt really like the style of how the translated was translating it too. The first book was a great introduction, the third book was just so many ideas just shot out there and I found that so fun. The second book was a great book but to me it only really focused on one thing, the Wallfacers, deterrance and the idea of the universe being a dark forest. very good book, but just was my least favorite of the three.
@TomOrange3 ай бұрын
I have noticed that most people prefer the Dark Forest as well. For me I think each book gets better.
