Re: Book of the Century?
Gilthalion -- I wd vote for Ulysses, and no, not merely because the title has my name. It's a great novel, and IMHO has been as influential as LotR. That said, I certainly agree that LotR is a great work of art and that many or most of its critics (or criticizers) are offended by its unabashed celebration of honor, truth, valor and good (and other such outmoded concepts).
By practice taught, I have learned patience, having much endured/ By tempest and in battle both. Come then This evil also! I am well prepared.</p>
