Makes more sense. I don't think that any type of fantasy is down-to-earth. But as I have said before, and on the role-play, Game of Thrones beats all.

“the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

“I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I've lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.”
John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley

"Everything looks good from here... (beat...playing with plastic dinosaurs over his console) Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive."
(as Stegosaurus) "We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land'."
(as T-Rex) "I think we should call it...your grave!"
(Stegosaurus) "Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"
(T-Rex) "Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh...now die!"

I have a bachelor's degree in Russian Studies. I also love stage management and theater tech! English is my first language, but I also speak Russian and sign ASL.

Besides dragons, there is no magic. And in the book they are a hybred.

I probably won't ever get around to reading Dragonsong, in any case. Mostly because I have a ton of other things to read for my AP English class. My English teacher is hopelessly in love with John Steinbeck.

My mom is making me read the Giver. Better then I thought, but I' still prefer my books. :)

Yeah, no kidding. The Giver is okay, but there are a ton of other pseudoutopian books out there that make for a more interesting read. Take the Hunger Games- that book series is excellent, and it really shows you something about human nature. Why can't we read stuff like that in English class?

Yikes. Heard about it, but I haven't read it. Have you guys read a book called Unwind? There's another really good pseudoutopia, right there. Haunting, that's the word for it.

Nope. But yeah, Gilly Hopkins was horrible. My mom made us read it. At the end, when she finally stops being a brat and learns to like her foster family *SPOILOR* she is sent to live with her grandmother*SPOILOR*
