Re: Book of the Century?

Pengolodh -- can you describe Moorcock's writings a little more? I've never heard of him, but that's not surprising since the only &quot;fantasy&quot;/sci fi books I've ever other than LotR are the Dune books (which I enjoyed -- at least the first 2 or 3).

And since I'm looking for info -- Belegehru -- who is Zelazny?

One last comment, sure to earn a stinging rebuke from Gilthalion and others -- I surely enjoy JRRT, but his prose in many parts is a tad too purple to take it too seriously don't you think? The descriptions of the Morannon and Minas Morgul in Two Towers sounds exactly like the Thor comic books I read as a kid. That's one reason I think TT is MUCH weaker than the other two parts (FotR and RotK).

Go ahead -- kill me <img src=wink.gif ALT="">

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>
