After reading Tolkien I tried to read other fantasy books and found them all too dull for words. So, either I am simply not enjoying the genre, and Tolkien is the exception, or I simply happened to pick the wrong books.
I enjoy fairy tales very much though. And I like Harry Potter a lot. Does 'The Last Unicorn' by Peter Beagle belong to the 'fantasy' genre? It is very tolkienish, don't you think?
