Fantasy vs. Science Fiction

Tralosk, that's a smart idea. Now we just need to wait for a bookstore with more than three shelves to open in the city :-).
By the way, I'll join in (regarding the illustrators) with the outcry of some unknown person:
"I wonder if fantasy artists will ever learn to depict something better than absurd three-meter-long swords and half-naked female butts?" (spelling and punctuation preserved, sorry for the profanity).
Because illustrations are a scourge of books... I've seen decent quality books with the worst illustrations, not related to the theme (AST loves this. Even Sapkowski criticized them for using unrelated pictures...). It's better with science fiction; there are fewer illustrations, and the editions of "masters" are generally in superstores and with original pictures from the 60s.
ewgeniy, I agree, but almost, because Star Wars is my favorite saga, and I perceive it as science fiction (there is even an explanation for the lightsaber!!!). By the way, you could try to combine "an elephant with a goat" with the lightning, with an explanation like "mental accumulation and discharge of static energy"... that is, more of a science fiction fairy tale. Yeah, yeah...
