Else I feel like I’m wasting my time

Submit to the Chosen and be done with it

there is one with Sand in the name

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

Classic Russian fiction is good

Crime and punishment

The books need to be realistic to me

or I can't get into it

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

I would rather read Fantasy than Science Fiction

John Carter of Mars might be counted as fantasy

same with Star Wars

read Plagueis

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

Yeah I read Plagueis after your recommendation @Emperor of Atlantis

followed by Revenge of the Sith

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

Nice I will check them out

Plagueis and Revenge of the Sith pretty much go together

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

but I didn't find it necessary

after that read the Bane Trilogy

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

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

Gay

The Jedi do not seem realistic to me at all

The Mandalorians are cooler

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

and their unrealistic world view

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

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

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

basically the Will to Power

nah the books make sense of the Force

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

@Emperor of Atlantis Mistborn was from Sanderson

do they have rules to the force?

basically the Force manifests itself in someone's physical power to channel it, as well as their will power and mental fortitude

which is a good sign, all things considered

hm

the Force is largely a mystery even to the Jedi
