I need book recommendations. Pride & Prejudice is a classic and all, but bitchy Englishmen snubbing chicks is a little overdone.

[Pageturn. Snerk.]

"Fitzwilliam" is a preeetty unfortunate name there, buddy.

Have you read The Hobbit? Or, uhm, The Lord of the Rings trilogy?

[frostedbites]

Yeah, once. Wasn't anything special. OHHH MY PRECIOUSSS.

plz disregard my continuous html fail

[couldbeavillain]

[That? Is the sound of Andrew's little nerdy heart breaking.]

Not--not anything special? It, alongside The Chronicles of Narnia only laid the groundwork for the modern fantasy adventure novel!

NEVER

[frostedbites]

Hey, hey. It's good. I just don't think it's orgasmic.

OH HELLO YOU SEEM TO BE DISCUSSING THE CLASSICS OF WESTERN LITERATURE SIR

[fred_cassidy]

Try Tamburlaine, by Marlowe.

[It's bloody as fuck.]

HOW EVER DID YOU GUESS

[frostedbites]

Sounds like tangerine.

I AM JUST THAT GOOD

[fred_cassidy]

It's a corruption of Timur the Lame.

Which certainly didn't slow him down as he burned his way through Central Asia.

[frostedbites]

Ancient cripple badass? Tempting, very tempting.

I'm not particularly familiar with the works of the worlds outside my own, but I have a roman of fairy tales from my world. I wish I could recommend some of the books from Volstov to you-- the ones that haven't been banned, anyway-- you might enjoy some of them.

[And one on the Ke-Han language, but that's not nearly as interesting.]

[frostedbites]

Volllstovvv. Sounds Russian. You ever check the library for your world's lit?

[explosivetalent]

Actually, I haven't made my way down to the library quite yet. Do they have books from multiple worlds there?

[frostedbites]

Think so. I skimmed a book about, like, the history of "Colosi" or some shit. For the record? Place doesn't exist where I come from.

[gunsandhonor]

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies wasn't bad.

[frostedbites]

Someone put zombies in Pride and Prejudice?

[He is filled with CHILDLIKE GLEE.]

[gunsandhonor]

Yeah. It was a parody. Pretty good, I heard.

[frostedbites]

[Deacon is DELIGHTED. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is 10 years after his time, you know.]

I'll be pissed if nobody gnaws Mr. Darcy's bones. What an asshole.

[betterthanraph]

1984.

[frostedbites]

Isn't that the one about the world being all badass in the 80s? Because lemme tell ya, the world was not badass in the 80s.

[betterthanraph]

Well, it is fiction.

[frostedbites]

Very fiction. The 80s was some horrible abortion of pop culture and Reagan.
