Book of the New Sun
It's a fantasy series that's memed here a lot and considered literary by the people who spam it.
>>8141196
Why do you assume people who are ostensibly adults necessarily read fantasy/science fiction books?
>>8141196
i honestly have never heard of BOTNS and I've read quite a lot of fantasy. some of us don't have time to stay completely up to date with every new publication so why don't you just give an answer instead of a useless response?

You don't. But you should have at least heard of it if you are not a child.

i posted >>8141184 and, to be fair, i'm only 21 (perhaps a child in your eyes). i have, however, actually heard of book of the new sun, i had just never seen it as an acronym and google was no help. not everybody is so constantly aware of niche '80s sci-fi that they can immediately figure out acronyms, especially when you're comparing a futuristic dying earth series to a 'medieval' high-fantasy series with apparently zero criteria for comparison.
tl;dr this is a shit thread

Of course it's a shit thread. It's the standard Martin vs Tolkien nonsense, but with a twist.
>>8141212
You're a fucking manchild.

I don't really hang out with readers. I'm not much of a lit reader myself even, I'm way more likely to be reading news or essays or scientific journals than narratives.
