>Yep...that's right...it's more fantasy. I don't like that genre at all. I stay away from things with faeries, elves, dragons, etc...even LOTR.

LOTR was like reading for school to me... I read it because I felt I had to, just because everyone else has. In the end, I didn't quite get what was all the fuss about?

Incidentally, one of my daughters had to read Beowulf for school (which I have never read, wasn't in our curriculum), and then when I finished LOTR she read it. Her conclusion: a retelling thereof, i.e. LOTR is more or less a repack of Beowulf.
