Thankful for Fantasy

“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” – Dr. Seuss.

“Fantasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters, united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels.” Francisco Goya.

“Fantasy is hardly an escape from reality. It’s a way of understandi

I love Scalzi's surrealist stories klike this. They are the perfect escapism, because they are fun, crazy, and give some astute rationalizations about life, the universe, and everything. In the tradition of Peirs Anthony and Douglas Adams (but better ...more

This is a sprawling tale told in a succinct manner. The book felt short, but long at the same time, and that generally isnt a good thing, but the writing and the subject matter was interesting enough to keep me going. There are plenty of better books ...more
