How do you define reality? If it is what we perceive then a 'fiction' story can be as real to someone as a 'factual' occurance. While they are definately different levels, and i can't say i've ever expected to meet an elf/dwarf/etc on the street (i do know a hobbit though: short bloke with the HARIEST feet i've ever seen), the books are real to me on their own terms.
