Mainly, I read because I simply can't help myself. There is no "Not Reading."

It sounds like you read more urban fantasy (a sub-genre to which I'm relatively new) than traditional fantasy. I would agree that they are two very different genres sharing a very specific theme of the fantastical (make believe) element. I suppose it would be odd to have a talking dragon on a high-rise, but I'm guessing even that could work if done correctly.
