No, horror/fantasy is a waste of time for an educated mind. IMO

Are you taking the actual piss? It's not often many comments piss me off, but that there was one of them. How bloody idiotic saying horror and fantasy are a waste of time for an educated mind.

I actually was about to go into a whole rant about horror and fantasy, lol.

You should definitely check them out though, they aren't his usual style of writing and it's more fantasy than horror.

I wish I could say the same, I read fact not fiction.
I get jealous of those who 'get lost' in books.

I love being able to get lost in books. Creating a vision in your head as your read through and getting so gripped by the journey that you lose track of time and find you've been reading for hours.

I will read them, maybe next year though, as I've a fair few things on my to-read list at the moment.

And I did start the series before but I don't think I gave it a chance and stopped after 30 pages or so.

The first book is quite slow going, but it's not very long. It's setting the scene for the rest of the series.
