I find it intersting, that you say that you do not like fantasy becasue they are not realistic, but you enjoy reading the Bibile. You cannot honestly say many of the things are realistic in the Bibile can you? How reaslistic does Noahs Arck strike you? Or reserection? Or people living to be like 600 years old?
But anyway, I like to verge away from the realsitic. To be realsitic all the time can get dull and boring, I enjoy fantasy. I love stories of magic and myth. But I also like the fact that many fantasy stories are set in a time that refelcts the Middle Ages, and the distant past. I am a bit of a romantic for the days of yore. I love reading about horses, swords, other bladed weapons, arrows, castles, vast forest lands, the taverns. I like being taken back in time, and into a whole new world. And I love creatures of myth.
I might get slammed for suggesting this, but it might help if we paid some slight attention to standard spelling and grammar when writing. I can barely make out what the thread starter is asking, or suggesting. Does fantasy stimulate me? Yes, but no more than other types of literature do. Other than that I am not sure what issue is being raised.
I understand a number of members write in English as a second language. Get it; there are, however, word processors, spell check, and any number of search engines, rather like looking before leaping.
I love fantasy, I live in reality so something a little out there every now and again is great.
Couldnt agree with you more! :DQuote:

ok, hes saying that fantasy stories arnt for him because he finds them hard to believe (this also puts him into a state of confusion, much like his post left you).
he's wondering if you can tell him any fantasy books that might tickle his fancy (based on the books he does like).
he likes the bible(haha) and sherlock holmes.
if you have any more trouble decoding these crypic messages, im sure anyone else can decifer them for you.
Have a try at Italo Calvino's Fantastic Tales, a compilation of stories by such authors as Hoffmann, Scott, Balzac, Gogol, Hawthorne, Gautier, Poe, Maupassant, Dickens, James and LeFanu among others.
If you feel nointerest for any of the stories, definitely, fantastic literature is not for you... so stick to the Bible's fantasy...he he...
