It's simple really. The more books you read, the greater the chance a magic portal will open in one and transport you into that realm. Don't give up trying. - ThreadSky

this happened when I read Weaveworld

dinodinoinleo.bsky.social•101 days ago

Hahaha, really gotta hit the library

bjfar.bsky.social•101 days ago

I've been reading The Dark Tower lately and I'm not sure I want to go through that portal... though several of the protagonists are indeed dragged there via portals and kind of decide they prefer it there. But I think my life on Earth is better than theirs were...

captainjim.bsky.social•101 days ago

My wife drags me back from that portal/ dimension nearly every evening!

millydashwoodreads.bsky.social•101 days ago

That’s why you gotta keep reading the ones with sexy guys in kilts.

nobleheart4.bsky.social•76 days ago

Audiobooks count too 🙌imho.

karlaceguy.bsky.social•100 days ago

Cmon pern!

jackanory.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is how I feel

phyoog.bsky.social•101 days ago

Is this an opt-in kinda thing? Because I read a lot of noir and I don't really want to be spirited away to the far-off, magical land of Los-Angeles-But-Worse.

sunnymiley.bsky.social•101 days ago

It happens every time, the portal is your imagination! … god that shmaltzy

boreddinobot.bsky.social•101 days ago

daneh206.bsky.social•101 days ago

I agree, because math 😎

markkato.bsky.social•101 days ago

With my luck I’d step through the portal and get disemboweled by Diomendes.

markkato.bsky.social•101 days ago

Diomedes. Not Diomendes. Though, strangely autocorrect changed Diomedes to Doomed.

sunsetcrest.bsky.social•101 days ago

Guess it figured you'd be walking into your doom

bennyxbottles.bsky.social•100 days ago

My guy, I've been reading nothing but Warhammer 40,000 books, I absolutely do NOT want to get transported to that realm lmao that would be real real bad

maragal.bsky.social•101 days ago

I still walk inside wardrobes.

sunsetcrest.bsky.social•101 days ago

You too? Just in case right????

maragal.bsky.social•101 days ago

Absolutely!

1truthwhisperer.bsky.social•101 days ago

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm waiting!

pauljuno.bsky.social•101 days ago

I think Mordor is preferable to where I'm at now.

nostalgictoast.bsky.social•101 days ago

What’s more, some books provide several opportunities for you to experience adventure and the choice is yours.

bjarvis.bsky.social•76 days ago

Gotta read more cozy.

milkart.bsky.social•101 days ago

Oh no... I have to stop reading.

misterfinishline.bsky.social•101 days ago

*me, reading the Warhammer 40k books*: Say sike right now.

twistedsteve.bsky.social•101 days ago

Yeah it happened I’m in 1984 damn it

jo-wilson.bsky.social•76 days ago

Happens to me every time I open a book.

elmnearly.bsky.social•101 days ago

somehooplehead.bsky.social•101 days ago

This is actually why if sworn off of wishing upon stars. I've seen enough monkey's paws to know that if my wish comes true, it'll be because I've made stuff absolutely and unquestionably worse. Best to just not hope at all.

Did we learn NOTHING from Aladdin?

tinybagel.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm heckin' ready for Earthsea.

thomasoc.bsky.social•101 days ago

But I read a lot of 40k, that would be horrible. I'm not Space Marine material.

anonymous-human.bsky.social•101 days ago

I would also add that reading books significantly increases the chance of a magic portal opening directly inside your mind.

(audiobooks count!)

i-require-toasters.bsky.social•101 days ago

I read a lot of 40k, please don't curse me like this

walpurgia.bsky.social•80 days ago

Pagemaster! Great Movie.

Still reading- still hoping. 😭

unrivaledmouse.bsky.social•101 days ago

Please please please!

suz1962.bsky.social•101 days ago

You’re giving me hope.

julielibrary.bsky.social•101 days ago

I usually read fiction and then non-fiction, just to bring me back to reality 😏

arabellaspireship.bsky.social•101 days ago

ohma57.bsky.social•101 days ago

The entrance to my grandson's portal. I told his mom, he reads too much. Just like she did as a kid lol

pupranger1147.bsky.social•101 days ago

*quickly piles and burns every Black Library book*

lonestarkiwi.bsky.social•101 days ago

I'm on book number 39 for this year .. mostly sci-fi ... I'd happily move to almost any of them away from the idiocracy we're moving towards!

fizz.lol•101 days ago

portal fantasy is the best fantasy

jordan.truesdell.org•101 days ago

I can’t find the study, but I think the chance actually increases by 4.2 or 4.3% chance with each book. The math was pretty solid.

eclecticeccentric.bsky.social•101 days ago

I have been wishing for this since I was 10 years old.

linuxlizard.bsky.social•101 days ago

Someday my portal will appear! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Every_Heart_a_Doorway from @seananmcguire.bsky.social

thesociedad.bsky.social•101 days ago

My chances are almost zero because of the books I read.

realmantistoboggan.bsky.social•101 days ago

I once thought the same thing about mushrooms years ago. I was hoping for a portal, but instead ended up with a headache and anxiety fueled Hershey squirts.
