The Bible

2020-01-15 23:25:23 UTC  

I have a hard time reading fiction. It has to be very very good for me to enjoy

2020-01-15 23:25:24 UTC  

I do consider the Bible to be literally true though. I am a Christian.

2020-01-15 23:25:25 UTC  

wasn't there another called something Sand

2020-01-15 23:25:29 UTC  

Else I feel like I’m wasting my time

2020-01-15 23:25:42 UTC  

Submit to the Chosen and be done with it

2020-01-15 23:26:34 UTC  

there is one with Sand in the name

2020-01-15 23:26:37 UTC  

the last fiction book i read was when i was 15, and it was the warrior cats, L O L

2020-01-15 23:26:56 UTC  

Classic Russian fiction is good

2020-01-15 23:27:01 UTC  

Crime and punishment

2020-01-15 23:27:04 UTC  

The books need to be realistic to me

2020-01-15 23:27:14 UTC  

or I can't get into it

2020-01-15 23:27:38 UTC  

Some fiction just feels like popcorn flic. Yeah needs political/philosophical themes

2020-01-15 23:27:47 UTC  

I would rather read Fantasy than Science Fiction

2020-01-15 23:28:12 UTC  

John Carter of Mars might be counted as fantasy

2020-01-15 23:28:19 UTC  

same with Star Wars

2020-01-15 23:28:26 UTC  

read Plagueis

2020-01-15 23:28:39 UTC  

I could never get into Star Trek, Star Wars, or star anything]

2020-01-15 23:28:48 UTC  

Yeah I read Plagueis after your recommendation @Emperor of Atlantis

2020-01-15 23:28:56 UTC  

followed by Revenge of the Sith

2020-01-15 23:28:57 UTC  

@Smoke the witcher books have plenty of philosophical themes, that's what makes them great

2020-01-15 23:29:17 UTC  

Nice I will check them out

2020-01-15 23:29:34 UTC  

Plagueis and Revenge of the Sith pretty much go together

2020-01-15 23:29:47 UTC  

I guess you could read Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones as well

2020-01-15 23:29:52 UTC  

but I didn't find it necessary

2020-01-15 23:30:23 UTC  

after that read the Bane Trilogy

2020-01-15 23:30:39 UTC  

it is a pretty good combination of action thriller, politics and religion

2020-01-15 23:30:52 UTC  

I found the Sith religion and Bane's world view to be fascinating

2020-01-15 23:31:58 UTC  

Gay

2020-01-15 23:32:14 UTC  

The Jedi do not seem realistic to me at all

2020-01-15 23:32:25 UTC  

The Mandalorians are cooler

2020-01-15 23:32:30 UTC  

Bane is great because the entire time he is shitting on the Jedi

2020-01-15 23:32:35 UTC  

and their unrealistic world view

2020-01-15 23:32:50 UTC  

for example he calls the Jedi slaves of a corrupt and inefficient Senate

2020-01-15 23:33:08 UTC  

and says that the Sith are inherently superior to the Jedi because of their willingness to control

2020-01-15 23:33:08 UTC  

The Force seems so annoying to me since it is kinda magic with no rules. If there were rules and logic to it, i would like it bette

2020-01-15 23:33:14 UTC  

basically the Will to Power

2020-01-15 23:33:22 UTC  

nah the books make sense of the Force

2020-01-15 23:33:41 UTC  

@Hector all I remember about Hilary Putnam is that he changed is position on almost everything a lot

2020-01-15 23:33:46 UTC  

@Emperor of Atlantis Mistborn was from Sanderson

2020-01-15 23:33:46 UTC  

do they have rules to the force?
