Never read Pratchett.
Here’s a confession, whilst we’re being honest with each other: I don’t like Sci-Fi or Fantasy. I cannot stand Star Trek/Star Wars/LOTR/Game of Thrones etc.
With the exception of Harry Potter, obviously. But that’s because deep down I believe that the MOM lost my contact details. But everything else, unless it’s believable, I cannot deal with it. I just don’t understand it
Heh, I'm not a big fan of Tolkien's overly descriptive writing tbh. Was never a Sci Fi fan really either. Never got into Star Trek and watched the Star Wars movies for the sake of watching them so I'd know what people were on about.
GOT and that type of stuff though, that's my type of jazz.Moderator: Current Affairs/IMHO, Soccer, Pro Wrestling, State Benefits

Well super honest time then: I love YA books. Give me a dystopian future with a strong teenage protagonist and I am sold. If it's fantasy, even better! Hunger Games/Divergent/Maze Runner.....love them.
I'm an embarrassment to my English Lit husband. :cool:0 -

That's interesting, would this extend to Sci-Fi that doesn't involve anything unrealistic, like say depicting life on the moon a few decades from now?With the exception of Harry Potter, obviously.

Masterpiece imo.

Read it! Loved it. I really enjoy King's stuff. I heard there were talks about making a movie/TV show of it a while back with Matthew McConaghay as Randal Flagg. He would be perfect to play him. Don't think it came to anything though. They made 'Under the Dome' instead and ruined it. :rolleyes:WALL-E is technically post-apocalyptic and dystopian.
My favourite Pixar movie.
