Oh.. I hope that this is the right place to do what I'm supposed to do.. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
I'm reading Kalevala at the moment, and it's so much like the Silmarillion, and no wonder, Tolkien loved Kalevala. And to me it's an honor as a Finn, that He liked it so much, because Kalevala is the heirloom of our people! I don't read any other fantasy books, because to me Tolkien is the only one who can do it right. No one else can't do it the way it's supposed to. And Kalevala isn't fantasy, really happened, well, most of it... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
