/tg/ Approved Literature

We're imaginative folks here on /tg/, and there's a lot of tuff which insites this.

Fantasy

J.R.R. Tolkein - The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and anything else he wrote: The great grand-daddy of modern fantasy. at Not having even the slightest familiarity with his work is inexcusable
Robert E. Howard - Conan the Barbarian: Conan the Barbarian was born from his quill. Also a seminal classic

Science Fiction

Edgar Rice Burroughs - A Princess of Mars: Iconic, manly, and fuckin' A!
Frank Herbert - Dune & its sequels: World-building, politic, super-humans - it's one helluva party. The spice must flow!
Robert A. Heinlein - Starship Troopers: Where Space Marines and Tyranids came from.
Harlan Ellison - I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream: The most creepy in this book is that author thought it is optimistic. If he some day want to wrote something pessimistic, universe would implode from grimdark overdose.
George Orwell - 1984: WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!

Horror

H.P. Lovecraft - The Call of Cthulu & Other Stories, Dreams in the Witch-House, At the Mountains of Madness, and enything else he wrote - Lovecraft is to modern horror what Tolkein was to fantasy.
