That's backwards. Eventful history means no history?

That's because those two are being grouped into a large Speculative Fiction super-genre because a lot of books these days blend the genres.

But LoTR on the kid's shelf is just stupid.

...what's the problem?

Eragon and LotR are both stupid fantasy works for youngsters.

Eastern Europe is far better than Western Europe.

what is some mature fantasy books for mature people like me then?

Don't know what you're smoking, but no kid below high school level could even begin to follow those books.

>> No.1535151

is book 4 even out yet?

And I read LOTRs when I was in Primary School. I didn't have a problem with it. But it is pretty stupid of them moving it too the kids section.

I liked the Black Company, some of Robin Hobb's stuff, and Patrick Rothfuss' "The Name of The Wind". I haven't read Wheel of Time, but I hear good things.
