    Thumbs up

    I just got done with the first book of "The Lord of the Rings". And I just got to say that this book KICKS A**!!!! This is the best book I have read so far. And its only the first book in the series!!!(there are 3 books in all) If you like to read fantasy novels, you MUST read this book!!!

    Just had to let that out...hehe

    BTW, how many of you enjoy reading fantasy novels??

    Read the Hoobbit first.

    There really are 4 Ring Books. The Hobbit is an introduction to the adventures and sets the tone. You get to know Gandolf & the Hobbits better from the first book.
    Live long & prosper.

    The Dinosaur from prehistoric era prior to computers.

    on a lighter note if you like humorous fantasy, I highly recomend the discworld novel's by Terry Pratchet as they are bloody hilarious. I just love the way he brings modern day thing into a fantasy medieval city. Death is my favorite character followed by the city watch

    My favourite Discworld analogy : (from The Colour of Magic)

    It's like standing on the top of the highest mountain in the middle of a thunder storm, wearing wet copper armour and shouting "ALL GODS ARE BASTARDS!"

    Tolkien kicks arse!

    Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you...
