Why? SciFi or Fantastical?

> So let me turn the tables a bit and ask the rest of you: Why read scifi or fantasy or both? What's the attraction of those genres, and do you prefer one over the other?

Kemper now:
Why scifi/fantasy?  'Real' fiction is too real.  I require a bit more escape.  

As to which I favor more...
hmm...
I prefer to read Fantastical fiction (fantasy/horror), but I prefer to watch Sci/Fi.  There are exceptions.

I love reading me some vampires, witches, demons, zombies, angels, werewolves, dragons, gods and goddesses.  YUM!
Though Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card are well worth reading.

I love watching me some lasers, aliens, hybrids, robots, spaceships, wormholes, clones, gadgets and gizmos. Scrupt!
But... Avatar: The Last Airbender is worth buying the DVDs to watch the series over and over, great by yourself but better with young ones in your life.

Speaking of Avatar: The Last Airbender... they are making a movie out of it.  Unfortunately, I won't pay to see it.
