    Anybody here like to read fantasy fiction? I'm a huge fan of this genre and it is reflected on my musical tastes as well (blind guardian, rhapsody, winterfell, nightwish etc...)

    aaah... fantasy fiction... all fiction can be called fantasy but fantasy fiction is basicaly the types written by Tolkien, George RR Martin, Robert Jordan, Robert E Howard, C S Lewis... Ya even, JK Rowling and Enid Blyton are fantasy writers. Anything hich deals with a world different from the one we live in, in ways that are impossible can be called fantasy...

    Right now im reading "The Da Vinci Code" By Dan Brown. Its not fantasy fiction though, its a thriller. From what i've read so far, its awsome. Hope it stays the same or gets better.

    Before reading The Trial, Read the Castle.. Then you will get little sad.. But if you read the Trial, You change your attitude towards life totally.. You change.. So I'll tell you how to go about reading Kafka.. Last book i read was.. "The Works Of Ruskin Bond" .. I loved IT..
