advice needed - shannara or narnia
 
what classic series should i re-read

crabshack 01-05-2017 12:13 AM

just looking for honest advice while i backtrack on my life in a search for what was

crabshack 01-05-2017 12:14 AM

cons - shannara books are like 800 pps each book
cons - narnia books are so short

pros - shannara is epic
pros - narnia is succinct

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:17 AM

Is this some kind of a sick twisted joke? Narnia is sheer uber senescence. Shannara is the bile belched forth from the bowels of Beelzebub.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:17 AM

Also Lewis' space trilogy fucking pwns.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:19 AM

Re read??? You've read SIX terry brooks abominations?

There is no hope for you. Die.

crabshack 01-05-2017 01:19 AM

somehow i knew you might be the man for the job

crabshack 01-05-2017 01:20 AM

have you read those shannara books? my guess is you haven't.

crabshack 01-05-2017 01:20 AM

imo once you've read the tolkien books the next realm is shannara

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:27 AM

Yeah since that fake ass motherfucker ripped off tolkien like a bitch ass bitch (brooks not jrr)

But I'm dumb. you obviously made.this thread just to piss me off. i guess i should be flattered by the attention.

but back to taking you srsly: i have unfortunately read those sacriledges two or three of them and at a time when i was far less discriminating. shameless tolkien ripoff.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:29 AM

Christ i love narnia. once i had a large tome with all the stories and it had colored original illustrations by pauline baynes. just flipping thru those pages gave me such immense satisfavtion and an immense sense of wellbeing.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:31 AM

I also had the Companion to Narnia whicch contained a map of the voyage of the dawn treader and a narnian chronology.

:smoke:

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 01:32 AM

The covers was a picture of Jewel (warrior unicorn in the last battle) with calormene blood dripping off his horn. :rockon:

Petition to BAN (perma) crackshat (aka crabshack)

Reasons for banning proposal:

1. Intentional attempt at aggravating a top tier boarder (me)
2. Having read all six shannananananananananara books
3. Neg repping the aforementioned top tier boarder

Disco King 01-05-2017 02:06 AM

Lol, isn't Narnia the one with the little shit who sold his family out for Turkish delight? Hate that kid.

And the other one had a magic tree or something.

Disco King 01-05-2017 02:07 AM

Turkish delight isn't even that good. Tastes like dusty gelatin.

I like Turkish delight

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 02:32 AM

Yeah me too. We call it ratluk and its hella delish.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 02:35 AM

And disco king edmund gets his shit together and personally takes on the white witch in the battle of the fords of beruna. and in prine caspian he's a master swordsman while in dawn treader caspian defers to him as one of the legendary four rulers of narnia.

deal with it

redbreegull 01-05-2017 02:37 AM

LaBelle 01-05-2017 07:22 AM

I wish the Narnia movies were worth a damn.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 10:31 AM

Yeah me too. The first one was bad and rest got waaay worse.

Did I ever tell you guys that I visited Lewis' house in Oxford. I seen his writing desk (touched it too), seen the fucking WARDROBE (would have snuck thru but there were peeps about), sat on his bench in his gardeb and walked in the forest behind the house where he and jrr would stroll and tell each other tales. Also been to the Eagle and Child and saw the little corner nook where the Inklings would get plastered and recite norse poetry.

I was so happy I could have died

duovamp 01-05-2017 10:55 AM

Did you shit in his toilet?

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 11:31 AM

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 11:33 AM

I was all enthused and shit and you had to make. disparaging comment you Son of Satan you Slave of Melkor.

Elphenor 01-05-2017 11:55 AM

To be fair, I didn't even notice any allusions when I read them as a child. I remember my favorites, but only vaguely remember why:
1. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - creepy and beautiful moments, good adventure. I like when they drank the pink water and it was sweet. Also, reepicheep
2. The Silver Chair - met<>a, care paravel
3. The Magician's Nephew - this is technically the first one, although I read TLWW first. It mentions an old, tired, swollen, red sun and I liked that

ohnoitsbonnie 01-05-2017 02:04 PM

Just read them both

LaBelle 01-05-2017 04:03 PM

Wish we could see who voted for what.

FoolofaTook 01-05-2017 05:35 PM

For once I have to agree with Poots. Beware of preconceptions, dear elphenor.
