	I can't let this go by without a quick hipshot.  Tolkein is one of the
	most boring writers in English literature.  I tried reading these
	novels several times before I could finally slog through them.  While
	there are several good bits, most of the time it reads like a
	travelogue.  Just because "everyone" says this is a Great Work of
	Literature doesn't mean that you're going to like it.

	A pox on Toikein munchkins!  There, I feel better.
