I wouldn’t say I hyperfixated, but Lord of the Rings was my first in a long line of fantasy crushes 😁

Kingkiller Chronicles taught me why one should never do this.
is that the patrick rothfuss series?
yeah that’s ever getting finished…patricks too busy reading sanderson, lol
The Name of the Wind etc. rekindled my love for fantasy at a time when I’d become quite jaded about it, so yeah I hear you… I can’t hate the guy, he’s entitled to live his own life and doesn’t owe me anything, but at the same time it’s hard not to at least feel disappointed. 🤷♂️
@imalcolm @9bananas @ivanafterall I think he wrote himself into a corner
Lord of the Rings which is why I now have a 850 sq ft garden in the back, and a side yard filled with trees and bushes. I’m trying to grow an entire year of fruits and veggies. Feels very Hobbit-coded
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I still read or listen to the five part trilogy about once a year.

Ender’s game, followed immediately by an unhealthy and unrealistic fixation on the power of intelligence
👆
@desmosthenes HOLY SHIT lol
it’s where the name is from ^* is just added an extra S cause it’s always taken
@desmosthenes Trust me, I’m aware lol
Growing up I loved the Dragonriders of Pern books
The Discworld!
And Hitchhikers guide (the 3), tolkien & the hobbit, loads of sci-fi & fantasy… And when that was used up; Eco, Kundera, Bulgakoff, …
Growing up? Why not more recently?
Yeah, I still do it and I’m 38. Reality bites.
All started with Harry Potter for me, what, 1996? 1997? And fantasy is the genre I will always go back to. I’ve dabble in scifi, espionage, nonsense (House of Leaves), whatever Cormac McCarthy writes, but I always come back to fantasy, because reading relaxes me before bed, and something similar to the world we live in is not relaxing.
Yeah it was Harry Potter for me as well
Yeah. I’m hyper fixated on webnovels and manhua now.
the Amber chronicles
Any luck shifting shadows?
No, but I do have a Tarot deck:
George’s secret key to the universe. I wanted to become a scientist, but then I found out how little they get paid.
Dragonlance saga by Weis and Hickman, plus all the secondary books in the series.
A lot of Star Trek novels, always wanted to live in a post scarcity utopian society exploring the universe
Wheel of time, me and my siblings would reread all the previous books when a new one was coming out.
Not fantasy, but there was a book about this weird entity eating a raven, followed by increasingly larger things like donkeys and children etc. It was all written in a poetic way.
I do remember the happy ending when the thing wanted to eat an old grandma whole along with her food, so she asks protagonist to wait until some food is ready, and then she stabs them in their sleep with a knife.
There is another, unrelated book by the same name that’s more popular so searching online was pain. I could not find any pdfs, but here’s the cover jpeg in low resolution and the author’s name if anyone wants to continue from there.
Oburcuk by Selçuk Taykutgül.
Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators series. Followed by the Lord of the rings with the Hobbit and the Silmarillion.
Hahaha
ALL OF THEM
