Saw a post here that mentioned Michael Moorcock as an anarchist 😎

My man moorcock is unapologetic.

I recommend The Land Leviathan (Black Attila conquers racist America) and The Champion of Garathorm (Hero becomes a woman to fulfill destiny and save the day) not because they are good but because they broach taboo topics decades ahead of the curve.

    This caught my attention

    A Wizard of Earthsea is one of the most beautifully written books in the English language.

    I’m a total sucker for beautiful prose, especially Gormenghast.

    Do you have any memorable lines that stuck with you?

      I have to admit that my read-through was out loud to my children, so I cannot directly recall any particularly potent verses.

      Also, outside of some specific memetastic prose in The Wheel of Time and The Stormlight Archive, I am not one for recalling specific wording. I think it’s because of the amount of media I consume. Brain rot by quantity.
