50 Shades of Magic. Many of these books were drat near porn to my stupid young self. Looking back these books are painful... Thanks for putting yourself through the pain! Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer, Robert Jordan and Anne Mccaffrey are dead. There is no god.

Fungah! posted:The Wheel of Time is full of unpleasant, biotruthy crap though. Guys, men and women are completely different, this is hard-coded into the universe !! At least Jordan wrote decent characters and not sexual caricatures like Piers. But good god! Every time a man and a woman were in the same room in the Wheel of Time it was embarrassing. If I had a nickle for every time someone rolled their eyes or clucked or smoothed their skirts I would be a rich man.

drunkencarp posted:Yeah, what I mean is, when I was nine and read this for the first time, the utilitarian argument didn't occur to me, whereas now, it's the first thing I think of. He basically implies that the natural state of women is to look pretty and breed, while talking about Cherie. I'm sure Cherie is not emotional because of her husband or the fact that magic is gone, but because she is a woman. Gawd. I honestly can't wait for Question Quest. That's the book that made me stop reading because of how hosed up in every possible way it is. I remember it being some horrific surreal nightmare...

Thinly veiled erection jokes and puns. So it begins! If I remember correctly Irene is the only female character with some character development throughout the books. Though I might have imagined that. quote:It reminds me of the Patton Oswalt bit about "clean filth." Wasn't there a part in one of the books where two underage kids wanted to have sex, but none of the adults could tell them how because of magic? The strange obsession with underwear in later books is about as disturbing. LordAba fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Aug 3, 2013 |

I want to see the ultimate train wreck that would be a collaboration between Piers Anthony and Neil Gaiman.
