I haven't read a good work of magic fiction in a long time, perhaps not in this century. To me, the golden age of MF was in the 1980s. Although a lot of MF movies have been released, some based on books. I recently enjoyed WarCraft, which IIRC was based on a video game. IMHO we need strong leadership to restore the magic of MF.

Stop using B&N for your new books. Everything is happening over on Amazon.
