because fantasy is something different than the world we live in, not based in fact, if you want to read history, take a class

there are authors such as Dostoyveskey,ayn rand etc that ain't about history but about something that makes sense

doesnt have to make sense to be intertaining, do you not watch movies because most of them make no sense? like look, that car just smashed into dozens of others, yet it still drives~!

or how the perfect bride and perfect groom have a perfect fight followed by a perfect makup and perfect wedding

uh huh

just because you lack the imagination to read fantasy doesnt mean you should diss it

why are everyone into fantasy so much lol

'cos real life is boring. Anything you read in a non fiction book will be the same as something you have seen before on tv shows, movies, history etc. It is boring for most. Fantasy draws people in and gives them new things to think about and presents problems in different ways.

I'm looking for a new series of books to read preferably 4-20 books long in the series. Most of the books I have read are fantasy, and generally takes 1-3days to finish a book, thats why I prefer a series so I can just buy a few at a time, I have only read 1 book that wasn't part of a series and it was good but then you have to go and start looking for another book to read after only a few days lol.

Well so you can help me with some suggestions and get an idea of my taste, the books I've read in the past month are:

Garth Nix
Sabriel
Lirael
Abhorsen

Mister Monday
Grim Tuesday
Drowned Wednesday
Sir Thursday
Lady Friday
Superior Saturday
Lord Sunday

Sheri S. Tepper
The Margarets

And of course within past year I read:

Stephenie Meyer
Twilight
New Moon
Eclipse
Breaking Dawn

Blegh, I posted this book in three topics so far: hush,hush. Amazing book. I'm trying to read The Sight, but I read too slow and I just don't have the patience to read it.
