A Conversation for JRR Tolkien
The rings that rule fantasy
jak Started conversation Jul 19, 2000
If you are interested in fantasy works and should NOT have read Tolkien yet, then I have a quest for you: settle out and read the whole work!!! I don´t want to shove other writers off the shelf, but, in my humble opinion, even the voluminous works of Frank Herbert can´t beat the fun, the sorrow, the love and the fear you face when you step in to join the company of characters depicted with a dedication seldom encountered even in fantasy writing.
Okay, okay, I let go now...but thanks for the biography, anyway.
