PAAAAAGE TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Hehe, sorry. Anyhoo, today I showed my friend my new reproduction of Evenstar (!) and I accidently (no, really! It was an accident!) called it my precioussssss. Her grandmother freaked out. It was quite amusing.

Brinniel · 06-29-2002, 06:39 PM

LOL! Funny, Gimli! I can think of a teacher at my school that would probably be that gullible.

I've had LOTR attacks myself. I just finished another fantasy book that I kept comparing to LOTR. Two characters described as smaller men reminded me of Frodo and Sam, another reminding me of Merry. Other characters reminded me of Gandalf, Gimli, Boromir, Sauron, and the Ringwraiths. I thought I was going crazy, but the beginning of that book seemed so similar to LOTR. It was a good book too.

Nevfeniel · 06-29-2002, 06:42 PM

What book was it?

Brinniel · 06-29-2002, 07:58 PM

The Sword of Shannara, which is the first book to the Shannara trilogy. It's a really good book and I recommend it to all fantasy lovers. Almost as good as LOTR. Almost.

Nevfeniel · 06-29-2002, 08:03 PM

I've heard some people say that that book is almost exactly like LotR to the point of plagarism. I haven't read it yet, so I don't have a personal opinion, but I think I'll probably read it when I finish the Sil and Unfinished Tales.

Brinniel · 06-29-2002, 08:26 PM

Yeah, many people don't like it because of that. That is the majority of opinions at one thread. My opinion of the book can be found here. Right now I'm looking forward to reading the next edition to the Shannara trilogy.

My link doesn't seem to be working, so just look for it under the topic Terry Brooks.

Ah, Mister Frodo...
#1, I MISS YOU!

#2, I think "hobbit" every time I go out to my garden (particularly when I see those lobelias I told you about....)

Rose Cotton · 06-30-2002, 11:54 PM

Haha! Gimli, that's priceless! Go you (and your Dad)

Anyway...I always will read somthing that says habbit and will think it says hobbit. Then I will always jump ten feet in the air whenever the word 'ring' is mentioned.

I was going to this bookstore and the jewlery store right next to it was called:
Galadriel's Jewlery. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Then I saw this movie where the Mother calls her child 'precious' and whenever she says that I imedialy think of Gollum.

At least it wasn't Sauron's Jewelry. That would REALLY make me worry.

LOL, there's a restaurant called Gandalf's in Charleston, South Carolina. It serves seafood.

I love that book too! Yes, ALMOST as good [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I finished reading that one, the Elfstones of Shannara, and the Wishsong of Shannara. Now I'm on the First King of Shannara. I probably should have read that one first, but oh well! They all reminded me of the Fellwoship too! Balinor Buckhannah- Boromir. Allanon- Aragorn (Gandalf too, considering he was the leader and he had 'magic' too) and the list goes on. Durin surprised me though. He was an elf, but in Tolkien's books, Durin was a dwarf!

mystra · 07-30-2002, 03:37 PM

i read part of the sword of shannara (?)

it was ok......

EVERYTHING in my life around me i compare with or think about lotr

Lothiriel Silmarien · 07-30-2002, 03:40 PM

Myst, I do the same thing! Don't worry, it's normal. Well, normal to us LotR obsessed people [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I even bought the One Ring! I never take it off..
