Fantasy!!!!

Fenrir: Yes! Good for you. LoTR is the absolute Best! And is very influential.

Neildown: Drawly, super-descriptive novels are good for grammar. In fact, because I have read and re-read the LoTR books so many times, I have the best Grammar in my family. Most people may not think that it was a drawly, super-descriptive book that helped, but in my opinion, even books that are not drawly and super-descriptive can help amazingly with grammar. In fact, even books with bad grammar can influence a reader who inspects the ways to fix the grammar and make the book still be the same book. So far, I have not read any books with such bad grammar that I must write to the Author, but there are some out there. Please do not think that I am getting on to you, or anyone else. I am just stating my mind, like Robald Forthright. (It is kind of a habit)

Chepsonek: Very true. But growing up, I never read or watched anything with elves, wizards, or dragons [well, actually there was "Dragon Tales" but I wouldn't rank that as classical, xD]; the subject of "pure fantasy" has really never appealed to me. I just don't get the whole "elves and dragons and mythical creatures" thing. It's 100% someone else's imagination and I can't contribute my own to the story. Now, with Redwall for instance, I know exactly what the animals look like, how certain ones behave, and how they would move and talk. Basically, it's just that I'm unfamiliar with the mythology of LOTR and I've never had any motivation to learn about it.

No, don't feel that way! I enjoy hearing others' opinions.
