This shit aint gonna make it to my goodreads profile but its a nice retelling of the best AC game, good for when you have nothing better to do"While I thought that I was learning how to live, I have been learning how to die. – Leonardo da Vinci"
Why not just read Sabatini?
I literally just bought this a couple of hours ago. I'm nearly finished the game and I love it so I figured the book would be cool. Another guilty pleasure: biographies of serial killers. And The Morningstar Saga which is a series of zombie novels. My grandmother bought me the first book from a library when I was a kid. They were selling it for 50c (euro). I remember reading it on the plane to France a little while later and it really activated something literary in me. That along with I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. I wish I could get the same feelings reading as I did when I was a kid.
>>25242466>guilty pleasuresDon't have them. I don't actually like reading itself, so if there is no sense of accomplishment I don't even bother.
>>25242487>Another guilty pleasure: biographies of serial killersIm seriously afraid the FBI is tracking my Kindle reads and considering me a future suspect or something. Ive read 3 serial killer books just last month. About Gacy, Ramirez and Bundy. This was the last one. Im probably on a list right now.>>25242477Never heard of him. Recommend something good.
>>25242466If guilty pleasure equals slop^3, then I have several Star Wars (legends) and Warhammer 40k novels.Doesn't get lower than that.
For me, it’s genreslop like McCarthy, Borges, Calvino, and Marquez
>>25242466>aint gonna make it to my goodreads profilecoward for hiding your power level
>>25242514Based. I have a soft spot for Nabokov myself.
>>25242504For the Italian Renaissance, Bellarion. For Cesare Borgia, under the Banner of the Bull
>>25242521>the BullSISSYFICATION ALERT!
>>25242529The Bull is coat of arms and flag of the House of Borgia
>>25242466Awesome. I didn't know this existed. Assassin's Creed 2 is my favorite game.
Warhammer 40k/HH books, specifically Dan Abnett's stuff.
>>25242466My copy of Pindar has naked guys on it
hmofa
>>25242466I read the novelisation for the first game (which actually goes on to cover Altair's entire life) and for the third game (which is set entirely from Haytham's POV and covers his early life and the shit he did while Connor was an assassin).
>>25244254They good?
>>25242466For me, it’s Deviantart and AO3 fetish stories.
>>25244258I was a kid when I read them so I can't remember thrm too well but I remember enjoying both. I mainly liked the fact that they covered a lot of stuff that wasn't in the games.
>>25242514Can't believe you called Calvino genreslop. I'm gonna hurl.
>>25242466James rollins's sigma force is my long time favourite, when I'm not in the mood for any factual or classic lit.
>>25242466Howard's Conan, Horus Heresy. Those are the only guilty pleasures I've been reading in the past year.
>>25242466>This shit aint gonna make it to my goodreads profileJames 4:4 KJVYe adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
>>25242466It's not that good, pretty much a standard isekai light novel with extra gore and shock value but eh, it's alright. Kinda like candy corn. Not very good but I'll still eat the bag.
>>25244357>personifiying morality and antagonizing the whole worldmaybe you should stop reading fairytales written by people who ritually cut off pieces of newborn children's bodies
>>252443781 Corinthians 1:18 KJVFor the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
>>25244393>crossLmao, I wasn't even talking about jesus, you retard. It's the whole thing that is insane; and abraham, moses and mohammed were probably the same sort of people as jeffrey epstein.
>>25244456Matthew 4:4 KJVBut he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJVAll scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Reading a lot of Mishima but I can't tell anyone because I don't want them to know I'm a little gay and his books are making me more gay
>>25244325Now this looks like true schlock as it was meant to be. I'll put it on my lust.
>>25244479I meant to put it on my list, but eh, i'm easy.
>>25244472Confessions of a Mask is genuinely the gayest thing I've ever read in my entire life.
>>25242466The first Assassin's Creed game was loosely based on a novel from the 1930s, Alamut by Vladimir Bartol. Haven't gotten around to reading it yet but it's apparently quite good
>>25244272Is that simply so that you can jork it?
>>25244369I think I'm fortunate in that my JP is just good enough to hold off from reading the sloppa (and convince myself I'll eventually read it) but still bad enough to still enjoy some more ""complex"" works. Because when you read some dogshit LN that has a prose of a middle schooler, it kind of eats at your soul a bit.
>>25242487What makes Metro 2033 guilty? The game is based off the novel.I liked the part where he meets the supposed reincarnation of Genghis Khan.
>>25244369>>25245740I've tried a few times to get into LNs, but they're more difficult to research than other media. Are there any must-read LNs for someone who uses to go through a lot of manga and anime? I'm ok with degeneracy and edge, as long as it's not a constant stream of generic wish fulfillment.
>>25245825I wouldn't call Torture Princess wish fulfillment so far (only read the first volume), if anything it's the opposite of wish fulfilment minus the whole thing with Hina, the doll maid in love with the protagonist. It's not a terrible read, just nothing great either from the first volume at least. Check it out if the summary of it interests you. But the only LN series I've read that I'd say is a must read is Zaregoto by Nisio Isin.
>>25245825Yeah I don't think there's really any consensus compared to say, VN's, as they were untranslated for years and always served as a vehicle for a translated adaption. Boogiepop and Spice & Wolf are probably the only ones I can think of besides all the web readers for the og isekais (sao, mushoku, rezero). Now there's so fucking many I think most people tend to ask "was the adaption incomplete or butchered? Was there a manga? No? Okay let's read the LN". Which ironically still holds true for Boogie and Spice despite them getting modern adaptions.I'll second the other anon for Nisioisin stuff if only because it's 80% banter and I think that, and the use of subtext, works much better on the page.I actually forget MAL has a LN list, so that might give you some direction even if it is, you know, MAL.
