10 months agoSince so many people have beaten me to Ayn Rand, I’ll go with Terry Goodkind. A dozen and change novels of turgid, terribly written doorstops which amount to Objectivism for Dummies, set in a world which is a cheap knockoff of every other 70s-90s fantasy you’ve read.
Anything by Terry Pratchett would be golden. If they’ve read it and really get it, it means they have a great sense of humour, understand the importance of compassion and imagination, and hopefully appreciate a bit of constructive anger levelled at the structures that make people treat each other like things.
My partner and I read to each other, and I’m slowly reading him Discworld. :)
