random quotes ... to amuse, inspire, enrage:
I can't read fantasy either. And I discovered that the reason I don't is because it doesn't tell me anything interesting about being a human being. In the world-of-the-dead passage in The Amber Spyglass, Lyra's fantasy doesn't satisfy the harpies. They're only satisfied when she tells them the truth. And I mean that. That's something which I can put my hand on my heart and say: I believe passionately that that is true and that books which satisfy us and feed us and nourish us have to have this substratum of genuine truth in them. And I don't see much of that in most fantasy.
