Nope, haven't read him. Saw a couple of the movies.
Gene, that might be good enough for the kids next door, but you are a
writer yourself....movies don't count, you have to read the books!!
There is so much more to Tolkien than meets the eye...his writing
embodies what homesteaders dream of-a simple lifestyle of self
sufficient living in a slower paced world. Oh, to live in the Shire.... ;)
The man was a genius.
I do recall being shocked years ago that you had not read his work-would
have thought by now you would have found that round tuit-Mr. Ideal
Country Home..<g>
So get your bumpy butt off that backhoe and read The Fellowship of the
Ring! ;)
