Fantasy anyone?

Roger Zelazny's Amber series, J.R.R. Tolkein's Lord of the Rings, David Eddings' Belgariad, and Stephen R. Donaldson's Thomas Covenant trilogies, are all classic examples of fantasy. None of them are books either of my parents would ever consider reading. I've devoured them all... And more.

1. Do you like to read fantasy?
2. What's your favorite (or least favorite if you don't like the genre) thing about reading fantasy?
3. Do you prefer regular people placed in alternate realities, like the Thomas Covenant stories and the Amber books, or do you prefer the whole world to come from the author's imagination? Or something else?
4. Do you have a favorite author or theme that you go back to again and again?

If you want, highlight the stuff in the box, then copy it to your blog.
