From what I can tell it was deleted on 85+ which would make it officially the best thing I ever wrote. [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bennings/comments/1cg2mck/scp_and_then_there_were_none/? And Then There Were None]: a crossover with, uh, And Then There Were None. Not sure what this one was at when they deleted it. **Pretentious Reading Listโข** Anyway, I haven't used this page for years and I presume literally nobody has ever looked at it, so I'm going to post a big list of recommended reading here. Is there any kind of consistent theme or quality? No! Does the list include stuff that objectively has zero literary value like Halo or Warhammer novels? Yes! Is it very inconsistent on whether or not novellas are included? Also yes! Let's face it, the only two things I wrote that people even halfway liked got deleted with the crossover purge, so this is pretty much the best I can offer. The more pluses, the higher the recommendation. And I've decided I have to be socially conscious here. I don't want anyone giving money to an author who is a piece of shit. I've removed a lot of names from this list, mostly for either supporting Israel or supporting J K Rowling. Dead authors aren't counted, as the main purpose is to stop economically supporting these people rather than a blanket refusal to engage with their work. **Literary** Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe (+)๐ณ๐ฌ The Egyptian Book of the Dead by Ani trans.
