For fantasy I would recommend Walter Moers - his books are super creative! He is often described as writing children's books for adults which I think is quite fitting because a lot of his stories combine the creativity of a great middle-grade fantasy with a darker twist. I absolutely love his eye for detail, and his writing makes me want to read it out loud! He also illustrates his books himself.

although I haven't read the novel so I can't speak for its significance, Fools Rush In (where angels fear to tread) is an idiom which basically means silly people rush into making decisions without putting thought behind it, so I presume one of the novels' characters is foolish? there's also a fantastic song of the same name which has been recorded by people such as Sinatra, which is probably one of my favourite songs!

Hello, I love "Game of Thrones" so much, a few days ago I finished rereading all the books. And I already want to start reading again. But first I want to watch the TV show again. And my favorite characters are Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark and Jaime Lanister. I love them equally in books and in the series. And of course I can't wait the 6th book.

0:31 I don't know why, but seeing you folding the cover back like that made me ask "why are you doing that to the book?!"

This was pure happiness

Tell Emmie to read “in our time” and “farewell to arms” by hemingway next!! I fell in love with Hemingway when I studied him in my first literature class years ago. “In our time” is a compilation of short stories on a character nick he based off himself. Its a gem! And I recommend because everyone raves about “the sun also rises” and its my least favorite of his novels ive read

The Tapia v-neck top was favorite until I saw the cardigan, which just blew me away. And I agree on both points: great buttons, and why do they sew pockets?

The title, Where Angels Fear to Tread, is a play on the words angels/Angles, which is an anagram sometimes used by the English: Angels=English. In the Edwardian era, and beyond, the English often "feared," or at best condescended to, foreigners, including Italians, because of socio-cultural differences which the English viewed as uncivilized. I believe Forster is using the term "Angels" ironically in the title, and as a subtle critique of English prejudice.

I'm 200 pages in A game of thrones and I actually don't appreciate his writing style. I enjoy the plot, names, characters but the way he's writing don't make me hooked much. I don't know. I've got into fantasy many years ago but as a matter of fact I haven't read many authors. One of them was Terry Goodkind and it was him who got me invested (even if his story got worse throughout the series which is unfortunately true) and it's hard for other author to do it better for me. So, you asked us to recommend something. If you're ready to start a series knowing that likely you wont finish (given that the series is extremely long), try Wizard's First Rule. Cheers :)

@oak_leaf

Жыл бұрын

To be clear, I don't want to say Goodkind's better than Tolkien, Rowling, or whoever you may consider top 5 fantasy writers. His works are just very catchy. Also, I'm in love with forest and libraries and so is the writer. For me it's a pure joy to read about someone walking round the trees or extremely old volumes of rare books. So please, do recommend me other works I would cherish on scenery level :)
