Bob, do i dare ask the reason(s) behind your dislike of tolkien? when i first read him (in the mid 80s, much much before the movies) it was kind of refreshing. but then it didn't take me long understand that (to me) he was more or less a reactionary, right-of-centre (if not exactly right wing) writer....and being that kind of astonishing that he became an icon of the sixties (not that i was there in the sixties, my ideas of the 60s are purely derived ones...) just curious on a lazy weekend... :-)) regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
