Through Alice, you are shown through pictures in part. Tolkein, through deep narratives.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18389279001948464767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854424785114020340.post-47398501388615118152014-03-12T13:12:37.553-06:002014-03-12T13:12:37.553-06:00It is true.

Heh, I would probably be willing to read through and (redact?)/cover the bad parts for you.

I am thinking of exploring the descriptive nature of Tokien's writing and Alice's use of illustrations. It will be interesting to explore the way Tolkien included maps, too, like the one you included.cristianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082118363559675639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2854424785114020340.post-70568724069885610822014-03-10T14:39:06.860-06:002014-03-10T14:39:06.860-06:00Richard, I loved this.

I love that you detail your journey through books you've read as a child (confession: I also loved the Animorph series while growing up), and it's true that some books are just guilty pleasures. I'm considering reading Game of Thrones, but I'm afraid of there being some racy material, as I've heard that that is very common in A Song of Fire and Ice. Is this true?<br /><br />Also, Tolkien is brilliant. That's all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091331295137744421noreply@blogger.com
