Spreading the Word

Most of the people I know either read it a long time ago, have only vaguely heard of it (one person confused it with Lord of the Flies!), or haven't heard of it at all. However, that is changing. I have got my roommate and a couple of other friends started on them. Who knows? They might pop up here someday... (Oh, and I'm a female that loves sci-fi in general, but don't take me as the norm for anything...<img src=wink.gif ALT="

"> )

Back on Topic: It struck me that with some of the characters considered "least favorite good guys" it's kind of ambiguous whether they really are good guys. Like Feanor and the S-Bs. They're not villians, at least not compared to Sauron or Morgoth, but still...

And it's kind of strange as well, after all the uproar about Tom cut out of the movie, to hear someone say that it could have been left out of the book!

I do not know that we can have a heaven here on earth, but I am sure we need not have a hell here either. --Rich Mullins</p>
