I had to read a Wizard of Earthsea for school and HATED it (probably because I was expecting it to be like harry potter ngl). However, every discussion I’ve seen online about the best fantasy series almost always includes Earthsea, so I was wondering if I was just too young to appreciate it and should revisit it. I’ve heard similar things for Jane Eyre, which I also found boring but found out it’s apparently meant for middle-aged people.

    I hadn’t heard of A Modest Proposal before, but I just went and read it, and wow. I’m not sure what I was expecting but that was a crazy read. I don’t think I’ll forget about it for a long time.

      Awesome. That spoke to you across 3 centuries.
      It’s an amazing piece that absolutely sucker punches you.
