Nothing is more frustrating to write than a character interacting with a door

Slaughterhouse 5: A man with fragmented memory considers human mortality and the horrors of war. And so it goes.

Fight Club: A man hates his job so much, he joins a club where people get beat up just to feel something. But the club starts getting out of control…

The Three Body Problem: A researcher sees a countdown timer overlaid over his vision. When he stops his research, the timer stops. When he resumes, the timer resumes. Another scientist hints that whatever’s going on is related to a video game about an alien planet with unpredictable, brutal seasons

A Song of Ice and Fire series: Medeival England if dragons and magic were real and winters can last decades

Parable of the Sower: A woman navigates a post-apocalyptic climate crisis while starting a religion that declares that God is Change

Since the bar is on the floor, here’s my specially curated reading list that does NOT include AI-hallucinated titles (AKA, my last five 5 ⭐️ reads)

The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger: 10 years
No Great Mischief, Alistair MacLeod: 13 years
The Lord of the Rings, JRR Tolkien: 12-17 years

I’m just a slow writer reminding myself of how long some of the greats took:

Invisible Man, Ralph Ellison: 5 years
Lord of the Flies, William Golding: 5 years
Eugene Onegin, Alexander Pushkin: 8 years
Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton: 8 years

The top inspirations for my current WIP
1)Fight Club: Young men form a secret group, completing (often illegal) tasks as assigned by a charismatic leader
2)Elon Musk saying he was going to cure autism by installing computer chips in people’s brains. ND protagonist confirmed
