Do you read non-RPG fantasy novels?

[DungeonmasterCal]

I don't read any RPG related novels.

 

[Desdichado]

yes. i still read all of them. but when the main character rapes another it ain't something i like to read nor do i feel sympathy or interest in.

Gah! I slogged through only the first two novels before giving up in disgust. And keep in mind; that's when I was quite a bit younger, and I had a vast tolerance for dumb books, and I hardly ever quit anything I started reading no matter how awful it was.

I don't read non-RPG fantasy or RPG fantasy. I typically only read horror and SF novels. For some reason, fantasy literature doesn't do much for me.

authors that have RPG versions of their work, such as HP Lovecraft and Michael Moorcock are RPG related.

Great way to skew a poll.

I must admit Call of Cthulhu RPG got me into reading HP Lovecraft, but I was reading Michael Moorcock for a decade before I even knew Elric had been made into a roleplaying game.

Fortunately, I read so much fantasy that I was still able to vote for "mainly non-RPG" (along with almost everybody else, it appears ). Doesn't mean I think Michael Moorcock and HP Lovercraft are lame, though - they were your words, not mine.

Clever man.

I read the first five.

I don't really read fantasy anymore.

I read novels, just not of the fantasy sort. I used to read more fantasy but there is just too much crap out there to wade through and my time is precious. I get my fantasy fix from reading gaming materials.

I like my fantasy, but I havn't read any RPG related novels since I was in my mid teens. Recently I've found I've been branching away from the Fantasy/Sci Fi rut I was stuck in. I've read Glen Cook and George RR Martin but I work in a book store so my must read list has stretched into almost 2 pages of 12 point single spaced font. I limit myself to one fiction and one non fiction at a time so right now I'm reading the "Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde which is a helerious book about an alternate 1984 where literary characters are being kidnapped and held for ransom. I'm also reading War Reporting for Cowards by Chris Ayres, an embeded journalist in Iraq who to put it midly hated his job.

Next I plan on reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and Shake Hands with the Devil by Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallair

Looking at the results, it actually didn't. A great many people interpreted it the other way around, I'd say. Which is also perfectly fine.
