that's what I meant, actually. And I even reworded my post cause I thought you might say that about comics. I grew up with X-men and Batman and Superman (my brother's more than me). I'm a particular softy for X-Men myself... I think I got a lot more of that than the others. But I don't mind comics at all.
I do have to say SE that there were about 3 titles you just spouted that I've never heard of. My husband is on a 'read the classics' kick and I must say I agree with him. If you read the classics you get a new feel for all sorts of things, like movies, since they .....blah what's the word I'm looking for.... hint (not the word...) towards lots of classics in movies. Plus you just sound really smart when you can talk like that...
Spriggan!
No Harry Potter? No Wheel of Time? No Tolkien? Now I'm curious what you read? course that's not to say that if you haven't read those books you aren't well read, (I had a friend tell me that HP7 was possibly the best book she'd ever read, and I thought, "hmm, I definitely don't agree with that") in fact I wouldn't really judge someone as 'well read' by those at all.
Fantasy is a new thing for me, really, maybe 3 or 4 years of reading. Before that I was really into Historical Fiction, before that Murder Mysteries. Now I'm broadening again and perhaps soon will have gone on to a new genre....
I agree about The Hobbit, I read it after the LOTR and found it boring. But I love LOTR.
