Some excellent choices yet again! As always, I find myself nodding my head reading each entry and all the excellent nods to these fantastic authors. Tolkien is one I need to go back to. I remember trying to pick up my dad's original copy back when I was younger, but never made it all the way through. I'm sure it is a tale that if I picked up now I would fall right into the story and not want to come up for air. I actually haven't watched the movies all the way through either, as 3 hours is a bit long for my movie attention span. A book, though, I could read a good one all day!
