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
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
😄
basically the Jedi sit around kvetching about the nature of the Force but have never even attempted half the stuff
my sister ran out of gas as soon as i got finished dressing and was getting my shoes. i need to get her gas money.
Warrior cats is still really good.
Anyone here that has read "the Black Compamy"?
