Ha! My predilection for fantasy is 100% my parents' fault, and they had no idea what can of worms they were opening at the time. My dad handed me The Hobbit one day at the bookstore because he and my mom thought I needed to read something other than horse stories, and he'd read it as a kid. I didn't like that one much, but I did love the dragon. So then I started reading anything with dragons in it, and then other things, which I still picked for intriguing titles or pretty covers. What can I say? "So You Want to be a Wizard" is a really /interesting/ title! :PPPPP
