The Culture books by Iain M Banks.
Many books, various points in time in the "history" of The Culture.
Warning: sci-fi

Some of the best writing ever.

Hi guys! I made a My Favorite Murder Coloring Book and a True Crime Coloring/Activity book. They're both available on Amazon Prime.

I think they are referring to spiroglyphics: Spiroglyphics

u/Adahn5 · 6 pointsr/socialism

Consider Phlebas, The Player of Games, and Use of Weapons

These three were written by Iain M. Banks and they're all sci-fi novels set in a far off future Earth where we live in a post-scarcity, stateless, classless, communist paradise. Banks uses the alien societies we encounter in the future as a means of criticing our actual, modern society today.

I absolutely love those novels. The Culture (what we now call the united humans of earth + their colonies) is fascinating. I won't spoil it for you. But go for it. Read until your eyes bleed.

Also, if you're looking for something fun and innocent. You can't go wrong with The Smurfs. I shit you not, I grew up on these so don't any of you dare insult them >.>

You'll want the comics, of course, not the cartoons.

I think that JAP Hyrule Graphics is USA/EU Arts & Artifacts but it is green. Hyrule Historia has the same name but it is brown. WTF Nintendo

u/reallyoverit · 5 pointsr/sexover30

Book is called Two Knotty Boys and I highly recommend it. Amazon

Unsurprisingly, the kindle version is more expensive on Amazon. Not sure how it works for a coloring book though. 1D chess marketing strategy. Might have to provide feedback.

If you like history, try the following.

The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes. Utterly fascinating and extremely well written. It reads almost like a novel.

Peter the Great and Dreadnought by Robert Massie. Both excellent.

Citizens is a jaw-dropping revisionist history of the French Revolution by Simon Schama.

Night Soldiers is a superb "historical spy" novel set in Europe before and during WWII. This novel by Furst is credited with reinventing and reinvigorating the espionage genre. Think Graham Greene crossed with John le Carré.

If you like science fiction, try Hyperion by Dan Simmons. A mind-bending book that, at its core and rather incongruously, is a retelling of Canterbury Tales.

Sticking with science fiction, try anything by Iain M Banks; especially his Culture novels. You could start with Consider Phlebas, or Use of Weapons.


I have many many more suggestions if you want.


You may also like LibraryThing, a great social networking site for those who love books and like to catalogue and discuss their personal libraries. Look me up if you want. I'm "omaca" there too.

Another user found this link to get it cheaper than I got it 😅

u/dwodhghemonhswes · 2 pointsr/ChronicPain

Great series of books. You do not need to read them in order; I read book 4 first, and it spoils nothing.

Supposedly, Amazon Prime wants to do a miniseries of this, or at least the first book, to the level of quality of Game of Thrones. I'll... believe it when I see it.

Anyway here are Amazon/Audible links! (Or hit up your local library, etc.)

  1. Consider Phlebas paperback / Audible

  2. The Player of Games paperback / Audible

  3. Use of Weapons paperback / Audible

  4. The State of the Art (collection of short stories) paperback / Audible

  5. Excession (I read this one first, it's great) paperback / Audible

  6. Inversions (sort-of a Culture book) paperback / Audible

  7. Look to Windward paperback / Audible

  8. Matter paperback / Audible

  9. Surface Detail paperback / Audible

  10. The Hydrogen Sonata (my favorite - Vyr Cossont is my hero) paperback / Audible

    I really like this stuff as space opera type stuff. It's usually not "hard" sci-fi like Asimov or even Philip K. Dick or anything, but I rather hope humanity heads in the direction of the Federation, and then ultimately to The Culture.

    Fun fact!! Elon Musk named the autonomous drone barge ships (the ones that SpaceX rockets land on) after some Culture ships. Namely the Of Course I Still Love You, and the Just Read The Instructions. I also rather like the full name of the ship Mistake Not… (Don't Google it! It's a spoiler!!!)

Oooh, so pretty! That's the kind of blending I'm always too lazy to get lol — you've definitely sold me on them. I can justify it when I think of 60 colors for $70 vs 7 pan pastels for the same price lol. Plus, I just got Pop Manga Mermaids, and these would look so good with that.

What do you use to sharpen yours with btw? I've seen some people say pencil sharpeners work and others say that you should stick with sandpaper. Also, do you remember if you paid around $70 for yours? Sometimes Amazon bumps the price up and down, don't want to pay more than I have to. :)

u/wolfchimneyrock · 1 pointr/AskReddit

you should read the culture series of novels by Ian Banks ...

u/J4K3TH3R1PP3R · 1 pointr/booksuggestions

Dune! Mainly Frank Herbert's original works not the add-ons. Try some Neal Stephenson. Anathem was a great read. The Culture Series was great too.

u/drewstopherlee · 1 pointr/toptalent

they make a book of these that you can fill in yourself! they’re called spiroglyphics!

Spiroglyphics: Animals

Spiroglyphics: Music Icons

Spiroglyphics: Cities

u/aliaswyvernspur · 1 pointr/nintendo

> Also, Hyrule Historia is called Hyrule Graphics in Japan. I had no idea.

Are you sure?

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/self

These are favorites of mine that I don't expect will make it on other lists:

The Great Book of Amber by Roger Zelazny

Blindsight by Peter Watts

The 1st Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever by Stephen R. Donaldson

u/angrybiologist · 1 pointr/asoiaf

Those look to be from the books: Art of the Song of Ice and Fire. Either volume 1 or volume 2
