Fantasy always made me believe in something better. It wasn't a stretch to imagine a beautiful magical country, because I lived there. I acted out most of my favourite scenes from books, but then I hadnt' read Lotr (I've moved since then). But I like it. the mention of 'fantasy' always reminds me of my favorite beginnings to a book that I made up:
"Long, long ago
When the land was new
Far, far away
Where people there were few..."
Books, especially fantasy and adventure, allow me to go places and do things I could never do in real life. It's kind of liberating, actually.
