So for me my entire book collection is fantasy with a little bit of sci fi and I’m big into interactive sci fi and fantasy experiences (games).

Basically it allows me to experience something that doesn’t exist and also delve into themes and ideas that might seem a little out there and I get fully immersed in those make believe worlds.

It allows me to be part of something that I’ll never be able to be part of in real life as well.

I also take it as it is and don’t question much as I get invested into those worlds, such as magic.

I also have a great love for those things so that also helps me get into them more.

That's interesting what you said about magic. It makes sense. You don't have to understand it to enjoy it. I get that.
