I finished Mirrlees' Lud-in-the-Mist. What a forgotten gem. Beautiful language, deep ideas. It's a truly magical pastoral fantasy.
Now I'm reading Brian Aldiss' Non-Stop.

What are you reading in 2023?

I've had it on my shelves since forever ago (or at least a decade). I'll bump it up. I like magical pastoral fantasies.

It's worth checking out, absolutely. It reminds me in parts of King of Elfland's Daughter and The Hobbit, though with fewer overtly magical elements.

Heck yeah. The Broken Earth Trilogy is probably the more acclaimed, deeper read, but I think I like Inheritance more. Not that Broken Earth isn't awesome, too.

spoilers.....Is it book 2 or 3 that has the goddess of hunger? Because there's that scene at the dinner table where she takes offense....literally one of my very best favorites.
Inheritance is more traditional fantasy, whereas Broken Earth...isn't. I read Broken Earth as it was released, and it's probably about time for a reread. It's hard to fully appreciate some stories when you're reading them with 12-18 months gaps between each book.

There is literally nothing I can say about that that couldn't be construed as a spoiler, including saying it's not a spoiler. The book has been out for years; it's been discussed on this forum before. But, alright. Comment removed.

Poul Anderson? Was a big influence on D&D iirc - maybe in Appendix N?
