AIGHT so i'll make my list too

1. 1177 BC the year civilization collapsed by Eric Cline(4/10)
2. How Great Generals win by Bevin Alexander (7/10)
3. Game Of Thrones by George RR Martin (9/10)
4. A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin (9/10)
5. A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin (10/10)
6. A Feast For Crows by George RR Martin (8/10)
7. A Dance of Dragons by George RR Martin (8/10)
8. The World of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin (7/10)
9. Rogues by a bunch of people (6/10)
10. Dangerous Women by a bunch of people (6/10)
11. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George RR Martin (7/10)

word. the first book, 1177 was a borefest so i only gave it a 4/10 even though it was pretty interesting to me. i wanted to delve deeper into "the sea peoples" but so little is known about them it was fruitless. that said there was alot of shit about civilizations of the time in general, and it goes into depth about reasons why there was a big "collapse" of overall society towards the end of the bronze age and beginning of the iron age. so while boring i give it the 4 for its interesting bits.

how great generals win is more of the same, but it goes indepth on some strategies and tactics employed by the greatest generals in human history. from hannibal and scipio to more modern dudes and the ghengis khans in between. there was a decent amount of opinion and HYPOTHESIS' regarding future wars which i couldve did without but there were dope chapters. but all the robotics could be the future leading to precision strike teams being the only soldiers although ringing of truth couldve been left out.

everything else was a re-read. obviously the song of ice and fire series. the only reason i gave the first and second books 9/10 instead of the full 10, was because imo a storm of swords was the best book of the series so far. it was just better then the others so i dropped them to 9's. a feast for crows and a dance of dragons were both MASSIVE, and really only 1 book. each was just so massive with so many new characters it was split into two, but as far as story progression goes it was one book. for this reason i dropped each to 8, but the re-read was well worth it. my first read through i kind of skimmed it seems past character chapters i didn't care for to get to the tyrion/jon snow/jamie lannister etc's but i took my time with the read through this time and the newer characters, victarion, arianne martell, even sansa chapters had dope shit giving a wider understanding of the world and goings on.

the world of ice and fire again was a dope read, but its more a history book of a fake world, so while i enjoyed it, its not really a page turner. but more knowledge on things was cool. wish they wouldn't have stolen my book of sha'bat style (pages smeared can't read) tactic for the summerhall bit, but it makes sense because of dunk and egg still being a thing

which leads me to a knight of the seven kingdoms, which i re-read in one sitting yesterday while my internet was bogged down downloading nonsense. its 3 novellas following duncan the tall and a young aegon targaryen, brother to aemon who was the maester at the wall in modern game of thrones books. they read like teen novels, except for the language, (cunt, fucks, rape your face etc.) but they are quick and enjoyable and help flesh out the world as well. with appearances by brynden rivers (the blood raven/three eyed crow that teaches bran) and some others. i enjoyed them but its quick and easy writing for martin.

rogues, and dangerous women, are compilations of short stories by modern fantasy writers. i got rogues for patrick rothfuss' story as well as martins. rothfuss followed bast, the demon dude innkeep assistant to kvothe, it was aight. martins short stories in both books couldve been in the world of ice and fire. written like a history not a story. both following targaryens of the past, and i guess both are going into his next big book about the targeryans pre-dance of dragons im pretty sure

but word figured i'd add this since i sat and read that knight of the seven kingdoms horseshit yesterday

That book very literally changed the way I look at life

8/10 in retrospect seems unfair


His chapter on menstruation thru me for a loop and may have had a part in influencing that rating lol.

But nice man glad you picked it up

@Diode no joke, if you just take a book with you when you take a shit I guarantee you can read a book a month. Even fathers take shits. You can choose the first book, too.

Glad you gave it a look, bagatron. The other one takes a while, but it's worth it. I usually read longer pieces like that in chunks across a number of days.

I'm down for a book club. I'm in the middle of these books right now,

Think On These Things by Krishnamurti
Hard Boiled Wonderland And The End Of The World by Haruki Murakami
A Night In The Cemetary (And Other Stories Of Crime And Suspense) by Anton Chekhov

All three are excellent so far. I'm a huge Murakami fan and have most of his books and this one is a little weird and not like his usual though.
