As a child I was really into fantasy books with elves and goblins and swords, and I went through a phase for a few years when I was reading endless series. But in the end I became totally fed-up with all these sub-Tolkien rip-offs because they all end up doing the same old things and there's no rigour to it.

当我还是个孩子的时候,我真的很喜欢和精灵、妖精和刀剑一起读奇幻小说,有几年我经历了一个阅读无穷无尽的系列的阶段。但最后我完全受够了这些模仿托尔金的作品,因为他们最后都在做同样的事情,没有一丝严谨。
