Being a bookworm since 10 years of age. I have read all types of books. The only type of books that I have not
finished were fantasy and romance novels.
If by mistake I pick up a fantasy book at my used book store ( I will buy 20 or thirty at a time ) I toss it.
So it is a personal opinion based on 53 years of reading
at least 300 books a year.

Since you only read books purchased at second hand stores—why should anyone in the writing trade care what you think?

So, why not say simply that you do not like fantasy writing?

I can't tell you how happy we are all that you took time out of your busy reading schedule to come here and tell us all that you don't like fantasy.

Sturgeon's Law, only the ratio of good stuff to c*** is lower.

I take it you didn't like Tolkien, either.
