I recently was in town near me, with someone else. And i was looking at the Sci Fi and Fantasy sections of books. The amount of times ive seen the words *save the world* *race against time* and various other cliches, i dont know. The adult section had so many similer ones. The childrens and teenage, on the other hand, they showed imagination, though they were some worthy pukefests.
It was in WHSmith. I know its not the most interesting shop, but they could have tried harder that the usual writers.
I hadnt the energy to go into ALL the bookshops, of course. I had things to get.
Worlds are so rarely endangered its silly to have that all the time. A part of a world, yes, but not save the world all the time.
Its was depressing.
So, could anyone recommend something thats not a conservative cliche, yet not gross?
I like Fantasy, not Sci FI. I just need to get some new books, new writers.
Something good, but not too insane. It has to have a plot, etc.
I like something that has a point, heros go on quest, etc. I know some of you will think
*why not buy the boring books* , but i like good books, not the faint scent of copying these have.
Something interesting and adventure filled, speedy but not so fast it forgets details.
I dont like sexuel content or nasty grossness. I dont want full on sex scenes and lavish discriptions of gore.
I just want something different and good.Something cool.No depressing *issues*.
One thing, it made me gratefull i found Michael Moorcock books.
Also im glad iv read what i have.
That Robert Jordan Wheel Of Time Series looks damn intimidating when they are all stood together.
