Fantasy is an escape for me in truth all books are. Every time I read a fantasy its story stays inside my mind joining with all the others there. My dreams reflect anything and everything I've ever read. It shows me different worlds good and bad. I play at times the hero and at others.... When it is our turn to be the monster well we must fully embrace and enjoy it.
Fantasy to me is a way of dreaming of what it would have been like if we all had the depth and yet transparency of fictional characters. In a world in which people could actually rise from a lowly slave to become one of the greatest fighters to supposedly exist.
In reading fantasy I mange to create in my mind a concept of a place that although it defies all logic and meaning seems unerringly clear to me. I mean I can get captivated in the idea of battle honour and bravery while reading a good book and then hours later realise that if real many of the characters maybe wouldn't act that way and it us in this moment realisation that I truly enjoy fantasy as I know that I have been enraptured in a tale so much that I have stopped questioning it.
Ready fantasy books allows my mind to wander about. It helps the mind to think in a way that you can look at some problems that you face in real life a different way. It helps the human mind to overcome some things that you could not get over before. I find it a way to relax and enjoy a fine distraction.
