And I'm not sure that this is purely down to the rather stilted delivery...<BR/><BR/>LOTRs I read when I was in my early teens. It's not really my genre but I thought it was OK... although I recall thinking Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy was a little better. <BR/><BR/>As for Orwell, I love his work but there's not a huge amount of it (novel-wise anyway)... I guess dying young of TB didn't help.Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176170186766506070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-33608900220349063342007-11-12T06:27:00.000+00:002007-11-12T06:27:00.000+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cheezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176170186766506070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-55225487013002642732007-11-10T07:47:00.000+00:002007-11-10T07:47:00.000+00:00I share your love for 1984.I share your love for 1984.Stephen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645889989231723542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484626660177622626.post-62404547814087998382007-11-10T03:44:00.000+00:002007-11-10T03:44:00.000+00:00Who the hell are these people and how did they com...Who the hell are these people and how did they compile their list?<BR/><BR/>I think you should give The Hobbit a try. It's a great, fun read. If you like it, the Trilogy That Follows is another one, IMO. But the Hobbit can be read on its own without further commitment, and sets the stage for the rest should you choose.<BR/><BR/>I'm doing Hamlet for school right now, and don't find it irrelevant.
