Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape?. . . If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!
J.R.R. Tolkien
Below is a list of books, old and new, that are worth checking out. This aims to be an ever growing list of classics and modern fiction.
Among others are classic works from writers like Alexander Dumas. If that’s not your thing check out the pulps section for fun engaging stories or the weird and wondrous. You’ll find more than a few modern indies in the pulps section as well.
