Yeah, my dad didn't like comics either.  He liked books, mostly historical dramas about the Civil War and World War II, spy novels, stuff like that. But he did like science fiction movies.  My mom was into comics as well as science fiction novels like the Dune series, and medieval European fantasy novels about Arthurian legends or anything with dragons, castles, knights, sorceresses, etc. She also loved Stephen King books.  I'd say I'm a mix of the two of them. |
My father is more a War and Peace (the novel) type person. I read some of that myself during my teens. I prefer Dostoyevsky to Tolstoy, though. And Clarke Ashton Smith and Edgar Allan Poe to Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky was a big Poe fan. My mother reads a wide range of things. She liked Dune too, but agrees with my view that Frank Herbert should have stuck to the one Dune book and not continued the series and run the story into the ground.
