You know, I'm not really much into reading Epic Fantasy any more these days -- I read it so much as a kid that I practically glutted on the stuff *g* -- but these days, I'm a lot more fond of urban fantasy. Stories where our world blends with the supernatural, I am so there I was reading it yesterday. *g*
(Fairytales, obviously, don't count here. Fairytales are awesome no matter what they are.)
But that doesn't stop a piece of fairly epic "high fantasy" music from totally getting to me, to the point where I can see the white castles and dramatic swordfights between masked men and women in black robes and bird-masks and the sky on fire.
Guys, guys, I love the music I'm listening to right now. o/ (A piece by Immediate Music called "Electric Romeo.") It makes me want to write things. LUNCHBREAK CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH. \o/
P.S. Senpai! I watched the first two episodes of Storm Hawks last night. :Db I WILL BE WATCHING MORE, I THINK /o/

Re: fantasy genre-- YOUTH DENIES ME OF JOYS. ALAS, I FIGHT. D: I've never really... touched this hood of imaginary before, literary-wise, despite being ridiculously infatuated with the genre-type grâce à la Japonaise. But since quasi-exampunks are now over, I decided it's time to feed this malnourished innerchild. It's kind of going awkwardly, but I'm trying to say the least. |Db (ON THIS NOTE: have you heard of the manga Yami no Kodou? It sort of pinged back when you mentioned supernatural coalesced with some form of ah, reality.)

I used to read SO MUCH Epic Fantasy, it was ridiculous. *g* These days, I find it a lot harder to keep up with -- one because I am impatient and hate waiting for the next volume of something to come out. XD MR. JAMES ALAN GARDNER, THE NEXT "EXPENDABLE" BOOK WOULD BE A+++++ YES. (I have not heard of it! B-but I also have so much I need to read/catch up on, I'd probably not get to it within the year, orz)

I WILL LOOK OUT FOR THIS. Aha, I'm just-- mainly going with books I've known people to have liked so far. 8) Since my knowledge is kind of narrow and non-existent. (Ah, no worries! Just curious; it sounded like something you might've read. XD)
heeeey, yo! ♥

I like James Alan Gardner's stuff a lot, for scifi. Start with Expendable, because Festina is AWESOME LIKE THAT, and work your way till you're stuck with the rest of us, waiting four years without a new book. :(
