Best book you have read this year

This is the best one I have found so far. Probably too furry for most of Holla Forums though even with the sexbots.

Oh and it seems to trigger certain types.

This book is a mixed bag for me. I both enjoyed and am deeply disturbed by some of the on-going themes in it. There could have been a great adventure story here but unfortunately the author has watched waaaayyy too much hentai (anime porn) to write one.

Despite most of the characters being female, this author has a very low opinion of women.
Evidently all women are:

Secretly Lesbian
Into submission/Need a master
Just fine with Polygamy
Mostly disposable

When looking at comments for this author's Daniel Black series, I saw a fanboy comment about how the reader has just finished the Gor books and was so thrilled to find this series.

BIG. RED. BANNER.

For those who don't already know the Gor books are torture porn disguised just enough to get on scifi/fantasy bookshelves. I read one and wanted to hurl.

Pretty good fantasy books

Those sound pretty good. Just googled them and read a few reviews. Thanks.

That sounds like some weeb garbage. Go read Slaughterhouse Five or really anything else by Vonnegut.

no prob, I hope the 3rd book comes out pretty soon, annoying to wait forever for release.

I have read most of his stuff. Its new stuff I'm talking about. So far nothing really great just fun to read. If you know something new that is that good share please.

Scott Sigler writes some good new horror novels. The Infected trilogy is pretty good.

This was the first book of a series he wrote while his first series is still ongoing. I'm hoping to get enough people interested in it that he writes the second book of this one next.

Ok thats creepy. Added to list.

This one started out pretty good, then the second book turned into pure SJW shit.

James Corey's Leviathan Wakes is pretty good but maybe to old for this thread.

...

I just realized I haven't read a book in years

I am only 2/3rds through this book but unless everything changes radically the last few chapters that reviewer failed at reading comprehension on pretty much every point.

Been diving ino chinese/korean/japanese novels for the past year now and only two were ever finished translated.

Is there any furry sci-fi books? Like ops also fantasy also feeds my needs
Also where is the furry part in that book any summaries i see of it dont really get into it much other then some female protag reveals whatever she is and bunch of bad shit out there

I am also limited to where can i read shit for free and on a phone my pc took a shit and its either the gpu or the slot

Been reading some Lovecraft short stories

...

this book i guess

...

Rothfuss is such an insufferable asshole that I'm actually not gonna read the third book even if it comes out

oh? how so?

he's been doing everything except write the third book for like five years now, and every time someone asks about it he starts bitching about entitled fans

also, he recently did a crowdfunding where one of the stretch goals was "I will do a Q&A about the third book". that goal was reached but he hasn't said a thing about it.

thats pretty dickish

Something I've been doing some active research with

with a title like "perilous waif" how could it NOT be porn

that said, I spend too much time arguing on the internet to have time to read

the meme wars have changed me

The ships chief engineer has 4 foxgirl companions that double as techs to help work on the ship. The main character gets a mousegirl android shot to pieces and ends up getting her rebuilt as a dragongirl bodyguard/personal companion.

His other series has a good bit of porn in it, this one I think he is waiting untill she is old enough that writing it wont get him arrested in canada or someplace like it.

What's the official excuse for reading fiction books anyway? Being bored?

So progressive!

gay

I read everything but for this thread I'm mostly interested in good new fiction.

I usually don't have much bad to say about fantasy but I just thought these were so overrated. The prose is inconsistent, the setting is uninspired and the character is a douche (though it's probably intentional).

Nice.

You are the second person to say they are bad. I was thinking of reading them but now maybe not.

How about best book ever you have read?

...

It kind of depends what you're into, I don't think they're particularly bad just overrated. And the other person didn't say anything about the books just that Rothfuss is an insufferable faggot, which is also true, and that he's taking forever to write the last one. Those are all valid reasons not to read them but it doesn't necessarily mean that they're bad.
Because really Rothfuss writes some of the best descriptions of anyone writing books his length, definitely in fantasy. And while I think it's mostly cutesy and a gimmick I can't think of a book I've read that's 1000 pages that has a nicer rhythm overall, even if it slips in and out pretty much at random.
I'm not a fanboy but I'm also not trying to be a hater, it's worth reading to be honest.

Rothfuss's story is mostly like this:
There's a truck load of detail placed in pretty much everything, lots of lore he made up specifically for it, some old stories actually talk about the same thing and it's fun to notice that later.

Politically and economically, the world he wrote is very interesting. He goes to great detail to explain how a kingdom is ruled and how it differs from another one, what rules are in place and how they are enforced. The currency also has a very important place and he does go over the quantities and how to get them and everything.
In one of the books, there's a "plot" that the main character uses with an accomplice to make a lot of cash that involves signing his expenses with a penalty he received prior as "workshop expenses" where he was working so he can put in whatever amount he wants and get the rest.

Problem is, the main protagonist is a fucking know-it-all that's too damn smart for his own good.
He'll make plans and think about stuff you didn't even saw coming, which makes him look really inteligent. But at the same time, he's an autist that can't function well with other people and often says shit that gets him into some very serious trouble later. A lot of the conflic he goes through is mostly because he's a fucking idiot when it comes with dealing with people.

Also, the latest book isn't out yet, should be coming soon but you will fucking suffer if you read the previous ones and the last one hasn't come yet.
I still vividly recommend it, just don't get pissed at Kvothe. Fucking faggot had a hard life.

This is all true but the details about worldbuilding don't in any way separate KKC from hundreds of other fantasy books IMO. The writing and Kvothe are what makes it kind of unique.

...

...

Ok I put them on my list with a note to myself to get them when I can get all three.

Well, I've read a lot of fantasy books that don't bother as much to detail their world or to make the details actually make sense.
That's perhaps the unique thing about these books, that the details are there for some cohesion in the overall plot and because they make sense to be that way in the grand scheme of things.
Standard fare for fantasy books is that cool shit is placed because it's cool, no matter how unpractical or improbable or even non-sensical it is.
It's one of those stories that, despite having magic and demons, could very well be standard medieval times story.

It's also great that the main character does fuck up sometimes and has actual adversities and obstacles placed in his way, some of which he can't beat all. The usual is Mary Sue's that only fail for comic reasons and all the adversities are used to characterize themselves or the villains.


Patrick, I swear I'll learn how to perform actual alchemy, find where you live and show to you all the neat things you can't do.
Then I'll refuse teach you how to transmute metals until you write the damn book.
