I don't really like the fantasy genre at all. This is no criticism of those who do like it, it's just my own preference. Lots of people (including all my Tolkien-loving brothers) have lent me fantasy books saying "oh you'd like this if you like Tolkien". The Dune books, Thomas the Unbeliever, Terry Pratchett, etc etc.
I found them all boring and almost unreadable. I just don't regard Tolkien as part of that genre. For me, he belongs in a far more ancient 'genre', that of myth and heroic epic.
