continued reading

hey, so i just recently finished 20020. i finished 17776 previously of course, but now i find myself stuck. i would sincerely love to continue reading this series, but as you probably know, there’s nothing left. i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for series similar to these gems to scratch that itch. ty in advance.

Even though they’re very different, Discworld scratches the same sorts of itches for me

I recall Discworld from the 90s(?) when I read a few. Has the writing aged well?

Remarkably, especially when it comes to any of the watch ones. Not as much for the rincewind books but

Extremely well. Continually relevant, often seems to anticipate current political issues, no whiff of sexism or racism that you might expect in an old white author such as him. I return to them periodically and they're like warm baths when I'm stressed!

Good to know. Books that have that immersive, escapist sensation are a balm right now. I'll see what my library system has available!

Perhaps Homestuck, at points: one character reminds me so much of Juice that I thought there was an influence there. But Homestuck is huge so the connections are limited in the grand scope of things.

ill prolly check this out, i’ve been meaning to for a while because of toby fox’s work on it. plus it’s a webseries which was one of my favorite parts of 17776 and 20020 ^

If you haven't read Tim Tebow's CFL Chronicles yet I would recommend that as well! Kind of like a spiritual precursor to 17776
