If you’re looking for a fun comfort series for some light reading I HIGHLY recommend “The Heroes Guide” it’s basically for middle schoolers but I love it and here’s why:

- pretty self aware and really good about poking fun of fairy tales

- ✨found family✨

- vegetarian trolls

- women with swords

- ✨Princesses in STEM✨

- it’s all the Prince Charmings (From Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Snow White) and they’re in a group solving mysteries

- except they’re all incompetent but somehow they manage to save the day

- honestly my favorite part is the WOMEN because ya got Cinderella, Briar Rose, Rapunzel, and Snow White along with a couple others (Lila was my absolute fave btw)

- and they also team up but they’re actually extremely efficient

- The men are allowed to have “feminine” interests (flower arranging, dressing well, etc) without being demeaned for it

- the women are, pardon my language, BAMFs

- seriously. Cinderella gets into a bar fight. And all the women get arrested at some point and break out of prison ✨as a team✨

- some random twelve year old punk is one of the most feared villains in the land

- an evil witch with a good backstory makes for a good book in my opinion

- women being allowed to be soft and feminine without being demeaned for it and women being allowed to be weird and goofy and not being demeaned for it and women being allowed to be curious and nerdy without being demeaned for it and women being allowed to fight and be rough and not being demeaned for it and women, in general, just existing without being made fun of and showing that “strong female characters” isn’t limited to one type of character

- the Princes all go through major identity crises

- toxic masculinity is addressed and shown as an actual issue that needs to be worked on

- The bounty hunters all have random colors as part of their name (Ruffian the Blue etc etc)

- Briar Rose is so mean and bitter and rarely does anything that doesn’t serve her self-interests and she’s extremely calculating and I love her

- there’s more but I can’t think of anything else atm

Title: The League of Princes

Author: Christopher Healy

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2012

Genres: fiction, fantasy, adventure

Blurb: Prince Liam; Prince Frederic; Prince Duncan; Prince Gustav; you’ve never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel respectively...and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change. Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, the princes stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now it’s up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be.

'Before he became one of cinema’s most prolific actors, Cillian Murphy was all set for a music career. He even attracted an incredibly tempting recording contract but changed course at the last minute to pursue a career in the movie business instead. Now, he stands as one of the greatest actors of a generation, bringing a mosaic of weird and wonderful characters to life on screen, including Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and the more recent J. Robert Oppenheimer in Oppenheimer.

As someone who once said, “I’m less interested in the good man’s life, I’m more interested in the conflicted man’s life or the contradictory man’s life”, Murphy’s interest in books comes as no surprise – particularly as many of his favourites tackle subjects like the complexities of human existence. For example, he cites Appointment in Samarra by John O’Hara as one he regards highly after being drawn into “the atmosphere and pressure of what it must have been like to be alive in America at that time”.

Similarly, John Healy’s The Grass Arena makes the cut for the power held over Murphy, who decided to read the book after years of recommendations. “It is the story of determination and rebirth,” Murphy says. “The tale of a chess champion who overcomes a savage childhood to live again. A powerful book indeed”.

One of the more heartbreaking works comes with Patrick McGabe’s The Butcher Boy, which details the story of a young boy who descends upon a fantasy world to escape from his troubling home life. For Murphy, the book left a lasting impression on account of its ability to blend a series of dichotomous emotions: “[It’s] dark, fiercely funny, compassionate, and unashamedly Irish. Its depiction of a young boy’s descent into isolation and madness in small-town Ireland has never left me”.

Meanwhile, one of Murphy’s all-time favourite Irish writers is John Banville, who also became known for his humour and sharp, wintery wit. His 2000 novel Eclipse, while being a complete contrast to The Butcher Boy, also etched its world into the mind of Murphy. “In this beautifully mediative tale,” he says, “Alexander Cleave is a celebrated actor who returns to live in his childhood home. The book seemingly has little or no plot, but the sheer towering beauty of its language, atmosphere and insight make it impossible to put down or to forget.”

The late J. P. Donleavy, best known for his novel The Ginger Man, was an Irish writer who wasn’t afraid to completely disrupt the common consensus. So much so that The Ginger Man was actually initially banned in the United Kingdom and Ireland for its obscenity. According to Murphy, this is a book designed to be “savoured over the course of a life”. He also praises its subject matter, stating that its mischief and humour go perfectly with its empathy, particularly in relation to the “outsider struggling to imagine a purpose in this world”.

Cillian Murphy’s 10 favourite books:

The Ginger Man – J. P. Donleavy The Butcher Boy – Patrick McGabe Eclipse – John Banville The Sportswriter – Richard Ford Rabbit Angstrom – John Updike Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi – Geoff Dyer Grief is the Thing with Feathers – Max Porter The Old Man and the Sea – Ernest Hemingway The Grass Arena – John Healy Appointment in Samarra – John O’Hara'

#J.P. Donleavy #Patrick McCabe #John Banville #Richard Ford #John Updike #Geoff Dyer #Max Porter #Grief Is The Thing With Feathers #Ernest Hemingway #John Healy #John O'Hara #Cillian Murphy #The Dark Knight Trilogy #Oppenheimer #Christopher Nolan

I just remembered a book trilogy called The Hero's Guide by Christopher Healy, and can I say, it has some of the most ridiculous quotes that fit the LU boys so well??

(I got the quotes from here and here but again, they're all from Christopher Healy books.)

Born in El Segundo, California, Christopher McCandless was described as his teachers as “marching to the beat of a different drummer.” After earning a bachelor’s degree in history and anthropology, he donated the majority of his belongings and savings to charity and decided to live a nomadic lifestyle.

By 1992, he had travelled all the way to Alaska. Once there, he lived off the land, or at least attempted to. He discovered an abandoned bust approximately 28 miles west of Healy - this is where he set up camp. He documented his experience in a journal and through self-portrait photography. He foraged for edible plants and hunted animals, including squirrels, birds, and geese. His journal detailed 133 days out in the wilderness. Becoming weak, he decided he would return to civilization. However, the trail was blocked by an overflowing river. He returned to the bus where he wrote an S.O.S. note which read:

“Attention Possible Visitors. S.O.S. I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out. I am all alone, this is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless. August?

On 6 September, 1992, a hunter discovered McCandless’ decomposing body, wrapped up tight in his sleeping bag on the abandoned bus. He had died of starvation the prior month. His final journal entry that included words read: “Day 107. Beautiful Berries.” Entries 108 through to 113 were marked only with a singular slash.

The abandoned bus remained for some years but in 2020, it was removed to prevent civilians from putting their lives at risk by attempting to hike to it.
