Question

Guilty, guilty, guilty. I am obsessed.

Quote:
-Getting very upset when someone picks up your book with out asking let alone attempting read the front cover.
Here's my story on that: One day a guy comes over to my desk and picks up my TT book. "What's this?" he asked. "Is it Harry Potter? 'Cuz it's got some evil writing on it." The guy then attempted to read the ring inscrption.

"No, you idiot! It's Lord of the Ringd: The Two Towers!" I pointed to the bold text on the cover.

"Well, then what does that say?" he asked, pointing to the Black Speech.

"Would you like me to read it in the Common Speech or the Black Speech?"

"Huh?"

"In the Black Speeck it says, 'Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul; ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.'"

"What?!"

In my best Ian Mckellen voice I said, "In the Common Tongue it says, 'One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them; one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them'" Then I showed him my Science binder adorned with the Black Speech. He was really freaked out.

Quote that this reminded me of:

Sauron to HP: So you put your curses inside your books? Dude, that's EVIL.
