Okay clearly weezer is not post rock, but there is an overwhelming presence of the genre in this list.

I also love Radiohead, weezer, BCNR, Swans and joy division… soooo
Damn, Post-Rock is in shambles
You’re right, doesn’t change the point though. I have never encouraged anyone to try Lemmy because of how prominent some of this stuff is in the front page, even with nsfw toggled off
51% yiff and fucking degenerate kink content, 48% memes, 1% other
Just finished it and checked Lemmy and saw your reply.
Overall:
This is among the best world building I have ever read. Saying that PSS subverts expectations is a huge understatement. I won’t spoil the ending, but anyone going into the hook probably should know that it is a very polarizing conclusion. I personally loved how Mieville was willing to take this chance with such a long book. I put down the hunger games after book one because I hated that an oppressive government willing to sacrifice people for entertainment suddenly allowed Pita(sp?) and Katniss to survive. PSS respects that stories don’t have to be all tied up and neat at conclusion and that sacrifices should have meaning. Truly an outstanding experience in my opinion.
Sanderson does have some sci fi stuff like Rekoners and Skyward that are not part of the same universe as mistborn and stormlight. I haven’t read them though, so I can’t give much of an opinion
Not in the slightest. Much closer to traditional fantasy than anything, but much more modern than what you would get from Tolkien or the wheel of time
About 85% of the way through Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. Absolutely loved the book so far, but I’m wary of the last two chapters as so many people have said it really changed their perspective on the book as a whole. The world building, various races, and monsters in this book are some of the best I’ve ever read. Also Mieville’s pros is masterful, and the book is surprisingly easy to read despite the incredibly wide vocabulary used throughout.
Stormlight Archives blows mistborn out of the water for me personally.
One of my favorite endings to any series ever!
Snowcrash is awesome, your free library doesn’t mail books does it ? 😂
Growing up as a musician I was always trying to be the contrarian that hated Nirvana because they were so popular and their songs were so ‘simple’. I’ve since realized the error of my ways
