LMAO... that's basically what it is, though it can pretty difficult to put down once you've been sucked in. ;) (Which is the prime reason I have to stay away now a days, no time!)

Don't get me wrong, I was a huge fan of fantasy. But I am a bit disappointed now...
The very idea of fantasy, the promise it beholds, has revealed to me as being anything but fantasy.
There is very little fantasy being used in making such stuff.
Though I was pleasantly surprised by the Gormenghast  trilogy (by Mervyn Peake). Now that's what I call fantasy, because it has it's complete own feeling, quite bizarre, and gave me a feeling of question, so to say... what is it?
