The Man Who Invented Fantasy

It seems like elves and wizards have been around forever. But one man is responsible for book publishing’s commitment to the fantasy genre.

Anyone want to hit me up with some #book #recommendations ?

I like #philipkerr #nickharkaway #iainmbanks #timpowers #cixinliu #nealstephenson

The thing I’d most like to see right now is something like #stephendonaldson ‘s Gap Cycle

What do you reckon?

Well, this weekend I finished "The Killing God", and thus the trilogy, "The Great God's War", by #StephenDonaldson Great #fantasy, as only Donaldson can do. Absolutely loved it.

Was super excited to have Apple Books tell me that "The Killing God" – the final book in the #StephenDonaldson trilogy "The Great God's War" was out. About 80 pages in and loving it.
