[QUOTE="Maria, post: 2155890, member: 212249"] Forgive me, I suck at ranting. It'll probably end up being the size of a post-it. Twilight, in my opinion, is a terrible example for a realism. No drama, no characters, just...bleh. I hate it. I'll note the most recent one I've read, My Sister's Keeper. A realism novel with just the problems of life and heavy issues of justice. I'll flip your statement around, most good realism novels I've read are ones that spark your thinking a lot more than the fantasy ones that I've read. But most things I read involve tons of thinking anyway, even fantasy. I -love- fantasy as well. I share your thoughts on it, and that's why I want to work in gaming, because gaming is something that takes you away from your life's problems. But I have to say, most fantasies I've read, not all, but most, are terrible. I'm not saying they're all bad, there are some golden ones out there, but most are totally flat. Really, tl;dr, I like both genres, as long as they're written well. Can't choose one. [/QUOTE]
