I already read enough comics and watch enough cartoons like
Ice Age, Cars, Toy Storyand
Shrek to satisfy my *cough, cough* inner child. If I actually had one that is.
When It comes to fantasy I rather read the
Dungeons&Dragons (hack& slash) type of fantasy or the *cough*
Red Sonja,
Xena or
Buffy the Vampire Slayer type. I fear
Harry Potter doesn't offer me that form of escapism.
I sure miss my old RP-games.
But I confess to never have read
Winnie-the-Pooh and such, which even as a child I found too childish. I mean what boy would choose a make believe bear over a real-life superhero like
Spiderman?
I guess I have comics to blame for that one. They've got their hooks too deep in me, so I'm beyond redemption.
I've seen the movie
Mathilda (with
Danny deVito, right?) and liked it. But movies appear to be of a less investment than a book since they, unlike a book, always have some action in a scene.
