How is that possible? It's so loving boring that there is noway somebody with ADD could handle it. Listening to that fat kid talk about making a stew was like one of the most memorable parts this entire season, whenever that was.

i would rank tolkien as somewhat higher up than most fantasy types give him credit for, but that's a good list. i also like tim powers and caitlin kiernan.

i mean, fantasy as a whole is really really poo poo. like, really poo poo. one would think that, like all other genres, something would eventually come along with relevant themes and deep meaning important to the human existence, but nope!

the fact that tolkien has no rapes and no incest (elf family trees notwithstanding) and maintains a coherent and logical storyline is all he needed to stand out in fantasy. he was a boring writer but at least he wasnt a total idiot
