>>3288 Dune?

>>3288 I have no idea what book you are talking about but it sounds like space fantasy. Always a tossup between gold and garbage with that genre. The last book I read was Donald Trump's "The Art Of The Deal," and I really enjoyed it. The first chapter was a bit of a drag but the rest of the book was him telling stories about his work in real estate and his philosophy. What surprised me the most and the main lesson I took away that Trump is a successful businessman because he pushes until he gets what he wants no matter the costs, and he minimizes risk as much as possible. I thought he was successful because he took great risks and it all worked out, but to see him get where he did with little risk was a bit of an eye-opener. Currently I'm reading an MLP webcomic called "The Rhyme of A Storm." I'm not far enough into it to say what it's about.

>>3288 The last "book" I read is BuggyCYOA, though it's still ongoing.

>>3298 Last full book I've read was The Maretian.

>>3288 I'm reading The Guns of the South currently.

>>3292 Yes >>3296 >it sounds like space fantasy. Always a tossup between gold and garbage with that genre. It is supposed to be the best of the best, I can honestly see why. But the fact that I played the Dune videogames is sometimes messing with my head. >>3298 CYOA's are always cool. I hope the final product will be worth it. >>3299 I saw the movie before I knew it was a book. I do not feel like reading the book now. Is that bad? >>3300 Turtledove, alternate history, time travel, AK-47's for everyone. I usually try to stay away from time travel anything. It usually ruins everything one way or another. I mean it ruined Harry Trotter for me just because I refused to just accept that the writer did not think about it more than I did.

>>3292 Dune was pretty good, been a while since I've read it. And sure enough I look on the boorus and there's pony Dune. Fantastic.

>>3340 What I read was The MarEtian. A horseword parody. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/396744/the-maretian Never seen the movie or read the original book.

The last book I read was about a shepherd boy in Spain who has a dream about a treasure in Egypt. He chooses to sell his flock and cast his current life to the winds of fate, and learns about himself and the world in the process. The book is fairly realistic, but the boy's approach to life is endlessly inspiring. It's one of those books that inspire you to make your own life into a fantastic story. Early on, the boy meets a philosopher king who reminds me somewhat of Celestia. The book is The Alchemist. The current book I'm reading is nonfiction, about a specific kind of meditative practice. It centers around a specific state or frame of mind that translates into "great seal" - essentially, the harmony and union between all things, and all dualities. The author is a guy I enjoyed watching on youtube, a certain Lama Thubten Yeshe. Not that anybody's going to get it, but the title to this book is Mahamudra: How to Discover Our True Nature. This is another one of those books that just bleeds optimism and love for life, albeit in a very different way.

>>3288 I'm reading a book about a sojourn through Luna's dream realm.

>>3636 Hit reply by accident before I was done. To add: it's widely regarded as one of the greatest and most difficult pieces of modernist literature.

I've read Godfather recently

Anyone has read Larson's book? Is it any good?

>>12481 I bought them ages ago but I can't remember where I left them so I still haven't read them.

>>4488 The one by Mario Puzo that the Coppola movie was based on? If so I read that a long time ago, it's good. I've been binge-reading a bunch of Raymond Chandler novels lately, last one I finished was Lady in the Lake.

>>13709 Yes, that one. Did you like it, anon? Also, in my opinion the first film is roughly on par with the book, but the second one is kinda abysmal. They managed to mis out 2/3 of what's been Vito's character development in the book.

>>3300 Guns of the South get an interesting concept to shit with all the moralizing and onesided takes
