Dovamaxx Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I have a question. Do copper clouds work like a bubble (people inside the cloud can tell if someone is burning metals) or a fog (no one can tell unless they can pierce copperclouds) thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sovereign Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Work has been particularly slow since a few days before Christmas and I expect it will remain that way until after New Year's day. In light of that, I thought it was appropriate to revive this thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammanas Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I believe you mentioned that you are fluent in Chinese and Japanese and are familiar with their culture. Is there any books, with a good English translation that you would recommend from Asian authors or books that are popular there, but are relatively unknown in the United States? I think I asked a similar question previous, but I broadened the question and allowed room for recent developments.

I think I asked a similar question previous, but I broadened the question and allowed room for recent developments. I'm pretty good with Chinese, but I actually barely speak a word of Japanese. I am pretty familiar with both cultures though. Do you want to stick to SciFi/Fantasy? A couple of recommendations:Wasteland of Time by Bao Shu: is a good read, the story follows the life of a college student as the world more or less collapses around him due to a problem with an experiment with the large Hadron collider that causes time to reset to a certain point every 24 hours or so. The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin: This one I would highly recommend. It takes place during the Chinese cultural revolution. The government makes contact with Aliens and they come to invade Earth as their own planet is dying. The story is mostly about groups of people on earth trying to help the Aliens as they see the world as corrupt and groups who are planning to fight the invasion. To be fair, Three-Body Problem doesn't really fit the category of unknown in the States (it actual won a Hugo in like 2014) but it is an excellent read. As for what is popular over there, this is hard to say. The Chinese government has been particularly ban-crazy the last 5 or so years in the realms of Sci-Fi and Fantasy so there just isn't a ton in the genre coming out of China (For example; anything with time travel is now banned). And culturally they really like American and European literature/shows/etc. (Did you know "Friends" is the most popular TV show in China among people 30 and younger?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a condo and my building doesn't allow non-service pets. 38: Get to Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. (explanation below) 34: There is a storeroom below the dining hall at College of the Holy Cross. It has one door in/out and is otherwise completely underground with cement walls/ceilings so it would be relatively easy to barricade and defend. It has a full bathroom and enough stored food to last years. I'd go there. 65: I'd make sooooo much Poutine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know when you get home from a long day at work and you walk in the door to find your dog super excited and just going mental like they just won the superbowl, meanwhile your cat sneers at you like "go make me dinner slave" ...? That's why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all the following except... Lord of the Rings for the fifth one and If I have to choose either A or B, I choose C. Also have not played Elder Scrolls Online, but I do like Skyrim and Oblivion. Another thing to think about. I, The Lord Ruler, did not disagree to your statement about you being better. Also note that the name you use isn't Kelsier, it the the Sovereign. People think the Sovereign is me, not you, even though you are the actual Sovereign. I lost where I was going with this but, whatever. What is your favorite Sanderson book?

Lord of the Rings is a great series, I have nothing bad to say about it except "Tom Bombadil, why?" Choosing C is not very orderly of you... All great games, Morrowind was excellent as well. From a strictly game play perspective it may have been the best Elder Scrolls game in the entire series. I would love to see it re-released with modern graphics. Shrug, sounds like you're just riding my coat-tails. Warbreaker is my favorite. I'm also really fond of Shadows For Silence In the Forests Of Hell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
