What are the most /tg/ books out there?
Like rec-reading for the whole /tg/ ethos. I don't mean like "The Hobbit" I mean "/tg/ will stick his dick in anything" type of adventures.
I refuse to accept your interpretation of /tg/.
Don't judge us by the worst of us.
For grimdark, Junger's "Storm of Steel" or Sajer's "Forgotten Soldier" are right up there

>Thirteen dudes want to slay a dragon
>random pudgy homebody gets drafted into helping
>pretty awesome guy helps sometimes, but fucks off with no warning over and over
>pudgy guy does almost all the work of getting them to the dragon
>some dude not even in the party kills the dragon (with an assist by the pudgy dude)
>ends in a giant fucking argument that didn't need to happen, which is only stopped by even bigger assholes showing up out of nowhere
>we kinda pretend like the thirteen dudes got shit done
I dunno, The Hobbit sounds pretty /tg/ to me.
Imagica by Clive Barker.
I was way too young when I first tried to read it though. I wasn't ready for fucked up sex magic.

Come on, /tg/ doesn't have to be 'stick your dick in everything.'
That said, A Spell for Chameleon sounds like what you want. Interesting worldbuilding that includes centaur tits and magic.

Book of the New Sun fits both

I never finished the novel and it was a long time ago when I read it. I checked out the Wikipedia article on it, but it doesn't mention anything other than a shapeshifter taking the form of his target and then having sex with her boyfriend.
If I recall correctly, one of the sex acts includes eating the other person whole. I believe it was an illusion or something.
I should say that I read a lot of Stephen King as a kid, so I was pretty desensitized by the time I read Imagica, but it was too much for me.
Probably explains why I don't really have any fetishes except for some pretty vanilla ones.
The only reason I wanted to read the book in the first place is because I had a copy of Barlowe's Guide to Fantasy which includes a monster from Imagica called a gek-a-gek.

Man, Stephen King told me magic negroes were real, and here I didn't believe him.

They also seemed to be really invested in helping white kids
>The Talisman
>The Shining
Ian M Banks, Player of Games
Azad is definitely /tg/-world

Sold. My copy is on the way. Thanks anon.

>I mean "/tg/ will stick his dick in anything" type of adventures.
Fritz Lieber's Swords novels, the adventures of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.
Also literally intruduced many of the tropes of D&D like the Thieves' Guild.

Off the top of my head, the Mouser tries for an entire novel to fuck a half-white rat/lycanthrope girl with extra nipples, and Fafhrd has a girlfriend for a while who's a cannibal who's entire body is transparent except for her skeleton.

I'll second Spell for Chameleon. It won a World Fantasy Award, and deservedly so IMO. The first couple of Xanth books were great, I think that it's only after the success of Ogre, Ogre that he realized he could just crank them out assembly-line style, all according to formula, in order to make all the bucks ever.

Yeah, Leiber's stuff is fantastic, and sometimes pervy in a wonderful way. His book Wanderer has one of the characters get it on with a cat woman from outer space.even though he's obviously a lower life form, so it's kind of bestiality for her
>>48332524
>literally falls in love with every woman he meets to some extent
Severian was an interesting character to say the least.Dorcas best girl hands down.

Consider Phlebas is /tg/
>Be given a task by an asshole alien priest who doesn't do shit to help you
>Keep running into a hot bisexual secret agent rival DMPC
>Meet up with space pirates
>Have some adventures
>Sleep with a catgirl
>Take over the ship
>Finally reach the goal of the campaign
>TPK

The thieve's guild was introduced by Miguel de Cervantes, actually. In "Rinconete y Cortadillo".
Leiber codified the trope, though.
"The Stainless Steel Rat" series by Harry Harrison springs to mind. Space opera setting where a thief has to be smart, charismatic, and more than a bit lucky to get by.

as entertaining as watching paint dry too
