bookfags, convince me to finish reading Ringworld instead of just beating Halo 3 on legendary again

picrel is what Nessus looks like btw. the main protagonist of this book says he is going to rape this thing if he doesnt have a hot 20 year old hapa-mulatto babe to fuck at all times. is niven trying to be funny here? is he trying to be sexy? is this the whole 'well its the future so their society is just different' thing that authors use an excuse for weird sex shit?

>beating Halo 3 on legendary again
I can't, because this is about the most fun you can have.

>>24486787 (OP)
Can't really think of a good argument. Best I got is that beating Halo 3 will put Halo 4 and what came next into your mind.
Is reading this book worse than remembering Halo 4 and beyond?

well I'm actually still on Halo 2 right now but I wasnt gonna play past 3. is reach any good? havent played anything but the original trilogy desu
>>24486795
im looking forward to that one part with the scarab

really I love the ideas and concepts in Ringworld and Niven's Ringworld is honestly cooler than the ones in Halo but good god he cannot write for shit. I am convinced the man was actually an alien

his giantess fetish ruined the series for me, and this was prior to me knowing that was a thing.
