“Rendezvous With Rama”

by Arthur C. Clarke

What an awesome read! I really hope Denis Villeneuve ends up making this movie!

Reader/writer question: In fiction what are some of your favorite worldbuilding details, the kind of thing you think is underused and underrated?

A book I'd highly recommend to just about any adult reader without hesitation. That said, if you're already a fan of horror and dark fantasy, you'll almost-certainly enjoy it even more! 📕🙂👍

The first page of my "Fantasy/Attempted Comedy" story, The Last Philosopher.
I've been rewriting it again, but this first page still has some issues.
The question is would you keep reading? ☺️

    I have a 6th-grade (13 years old) student who is at grade level in his reading and does well in English class, but feels unmotivated to read on his own. The only two series he's really gotten into are and Percy Jackson.

    Since reading is clearly not a problem for him, I think it's just a matter of finding something new along the fantasy-mythology lines that would appeal to him. Any leads? @bookstodon
