Yeah right, because to have passion obviously it has to be Lara Croft or Buffy!?!?

Has your response got anything to do with my post or is going off on tangents somehow relevant?

And the fact that it was not written in the recent past or modern world has nothing to do with it. Achilles shows more passion of Patroclus than does anyone in Tolkien and that is hardly modern.

Or Romeo and Juliet.

Or Tristan and Iseuld.

I could go on but it is clearly a cop-out to use the fact that it’s not a “modern” book as a defence against the near total lack of passion.
