Unfortunately, when trying to expand your regime sometimes other nations take issue (as they should)

Direct support should have been immediate and global but each nation is too afraid of not being backed by all the others that they won’t take the risk.

We, as a species, should be stomping on governments that attempt to take what rightly belongs to another.

The worst book I’ve ever read has to be 1984. The book is excellent, but did not do good things for me so it goes down as the worst

This genuinely made me laugh

Very odd that this account usually posts media from popular US and UK outlets but the last two have been doom stories from this, previously unused, German outlet…

Constant appeasement has been the cause of so much more conflict as a whole. No sane country wants conflict but when it arises, it needs to be crushed at its source. It cannot stand and each nation should be afraid to commit such atrocities in fear of the response. Tying conditions to aid given to the Ukrainian war effort is ludicrous. France should be very proud of their commitment to fight for what is very clearly right and other nations should follow in their footsteps. I am not advocating that Ukraine starts blasting missiles at civilians centres in Russia but they should be free to strike infrastructure that has clear ties to the invasion. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

It must be so difficult to recognise the difference between agenda driven propaganda and genuine reporting, especially if the infrastructure for free press isn’t there. It’s really sad when you think about it

That’s right! You’ve made an excellent decision. I sound like a PR person for Lev Grossman at this point but those books are absolutely fantastic.

Another one to check out that is slightly more adult oriented are the Bloodsworn books by John Gwynn. Sadly, his daughter passed away so he hasn’t yet spoken of the release date but of the third book yet, though the name was released recently so I believe it is being worked on. It’s too be titled ‘Fury of the Gods’. From what I can tell, that couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy so it’s truly heartbreaking, but his literature is fantastic.

Second the Hyperion books, though they are a fair slog, but well worth it!!

I see a lot of recommendations for the deadly education series but I did not enjoy it at all. I finished the first book out of pure sunk cost, but I really did not like the book or the narration.

If you’re looking for less YA, you could try my favourite book series, The Magicians.
