I'm not necessarily trying to change his mind about whether he thinks fantasy is any good, acceptable reading or whatever, because I couldn't care less in those circumstances, just get him to accept that not all fantasy is a Tolkien knock-off. However, I'm not going to sweat over it, as it's not worth my time. If he doesn't like it, who cares? Thanks for the replies though.
