I love to read. Period.the.end. Fantasy and sci-fi are what fills my Kindle, but I like spy and some mystery or historical novels too on occasion. I loved Ken Burns North/South, for example.

I do like Steven King & Dean Koontz a lot and some of their works are scary, but I love their humanity and characters. I would never read a slasher book or anything where violence played a major role. I don't even watch fight scenes on the screen, just turn my eyes if it pops up or walk out of the room if it's extensive.

OK, one small complaint, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein should have been on the list! lark Feb 2023 #4

Sounds interesting, just by its title. SheltieLover Feb 2023 #6

Stranger in a Strange Land is NOT fantasy. PoindexterOglethorpe Feb 2023 #7

Where's the line between the 2? lark Feb 2023 #8

Science fiction is not only space & mechanical stuff. PoindexterOglethorpe Feb 2023 #12

Time travel is the real dicotomy (sp?) here, isn't it. lark Feb 2023 #13

No. Just because some kind of a portal is used, does not make that time travel story fantasy. PoindexterOglethorpe Feb 2023 #20

Damn mouse, spell check doesn't work with it. lark Feb 2023 #21
