Well, I partly agree and partly disagree. I think that in The Two Towers when he gets huffy (for want of a better word) over his sword, he acts a bit bigheaded. But I think in general, he's just an... |

Reading Tolkien's books was liberating for me, where writing is concerned. Before, I'd been restricted by the kind of language we use today, and I felt almost embarrassed to use a wide vocabulary and... |

I like Orlando, only he sounds... I don't know, sort of foreign. Almost American, really. *Ponders* Maybe it's from hanging out with loads of American people. |

What is it called?

My brainless comment for the day: How can it be bad? Elves get drunk! *Coughs* I only read it after Lord of the Rings, and I didn't like it as much, but it does have more humour in it. And... |

Personally, I love The Silmarillion, despite the complexity and the Old-Testament style of writing. It seems... vivid, somehow. *Sigh* I know what I mean. Yeah, I'd definitely recommend it. I read... |

Typing is the best way for me, because I type very quickly. But I'll write by hand when I can't get at a computer. Tell me... does anyone else just enjoy inventing worlds, for no particular reason... |
