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

@Hector I read the Warrior cats books too!

😄

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"?

no but I heard of it

I have not Wesk
