I hadn't noticed this thread being revived until just now and decided to read it from start-to-end. As I was reading some of Albertsaurus's musings on his Uncle and the frustrations which ensued (which was quite well-written and well-said, by the way!).. I thought to myself "I bet he'll watch Game of Thrones with the rest of the world and not realize that it is actually of the fantasy genre."
Hah! One page later, there it is. I'm glad something, at least, as brought him around to admitting fantasy isn't as horrible as he originally thought.. even if it is just a TV show and might not make him pick up the actual book. Start somewhere, yes?
