Well, I guess we're even, then--I stopped reading LOTR because it was just
so, well, cliched.  (Not to mention long-winded...).


The Sword of Shannara was a great book, but I believe it's quite different
than the LOTR in substance--and I'm almost certain that the latter books
don't mirror LOTR at all.
