Yes!! Have you read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? It's pretty dark but holy moly it's such a good trilogy!

For movies it's a comedy! For books it's time travel.

Dystopian all the way. I find it fascinating how people can come up with these elaborate fictional futures, such as we see in The Hunger Games.

I won't judge you by this sentence 'I won't judge you for your tastes, but clearly fantasy fiction is the best genre.'

But there is no best genre. When it comes to art, people should stop making rankings of not comparable stuff, and enjoy.

I was a big reader and cinema enthusiast as a kid. There was a poster in my school library with ten commandments of the reader (from a famous French writer). It impacted me a lot. The 10th went : It's absolutely ok to start a book and never finish it.

With that in mind I felt like it was more comfortable to go ballistic on starting reading books outside of your 'preferred genre', out of curiosity (political essays, philosophical essays, novels - some from 'classic authors', some unknown writers, romantic or réalist style, fantasy, crime, adventure, war, memories, classic French, Russian, 20th American, Italian, Spanish and the list goes on).
Read for yourself, not to push an opinion and make rankings :).

Why don't you just introduce us to the 'fantasy fiction' books you enjoyed, and why ? :)

Hi! I absolutely meant the first line as a joke, and I’m sorry it might’ve seemed another way. I just read more books in the fantasy genre lately, and would recommend the folk of the air series. However, I appreciate all genres and love trying out different books! Do you have any recommendations?

Mysteries. Only Murders in the Building is one of my current favorites, but I am also obsessed with Broadchurch. And Sherlock.

Harry Potter was a childhood favorite of mine and introduced me to fantasy! It’s a shame author seems to be less than amazing as a person…

I don't have an absolute favourite genre, but I've been reading some classics lately, and they're super good! At the moment I'm read The Picture of Dorian Grey, and I'm really enjoying it :)
Also reading Chalice of the Gods, the most (?) recent book in the Percy Jackson series. Really good, I recommend
