1-3 might be a pretty solid ordering for me. But Raiders and Princess Bride might pop up there if the mood is right :) They have the disadvantage of being much older, so they don't stand out as much in my mind. Beyond that, things could move around a lot. Putting things in an actual order is soooooo...

Yeah, the Oath of Peace is the only reason TC lived past the first few chapters. After raping Lena??? Forget it! Even if he hadn't done that, one of the good guys in Middle Earth would have killed him just for being so annoying. I can see him running with Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli, on their way to...

Earthsea quiz
I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it (yeah, right :)), but I love LeGuin's <I>Earthsea</I> stuff. I was stunned and saddened (dare I say outraged?) that there was not a single Earthsea quiz at that site! *sigh* OK, so here's what I'm going to submit. If anyone has any feedback before I do, I'd apprec...

The Norse gods very much reflect the people who invented them. Yes, the giants were their enemies. But not because they were the good guys and the giants were necessarily more evil. Odin and his brothers slew the first of all beings, the giant Ymir. No reason, they just did it. Then they made the di...

I'm tied with danlo at 14. Now somebody explain to me why Gandalf is rated below Balrogs or any elf! :x I'm not happy about that at all! He killed a Balrog, for crying out loud! He later said (I don't suspect he was exaggerating) that he was more dangerous than anybody but Sauron. He was the masterm...

I'm not sporadically blind, right? You just added Classical? Thanks. And if you ever want to hear a lot of rambling about the various aspects of genius of classical music, I'd be happy to go on and on and on :) That's what I got my B.A. in. (Classical music, not rambling. Rambling is a natural thing...

here's where i run into problems being a hebrew scholar instead of a biblical scholar. talmid vs talmud. the only problem i see with Elohim being indicitave of the trinity is that as an Old Testament word, the writers at that time would have no knowledge of the trinity. If I may be so bold as to an...

duchess, Ever heard of Nickel Creek? I just got their self-titled cd, because I saw a video of theirs on CMT a few times. (Not particularly a country music fan myself, but a woman at work is, so it's on sometimes.) They have definite bluegrass roots, even produced by Allison Kraus. One track is call...

I sobbed like a baby, I am not ashamed to admit, when TC gave the dead giants their release from damnation at the end of TWL. :cry: Mother of God, Yes!! It's kinda funny to be talking with another guy (owner of a comic book store), both of us saying how we cry at that part. Couple of wimps! That wh...

For the Giants
Ah, my friends, none can bring tears to my eyes like the Giants! Their fierce joys, and the depths of their pains! OK, here's some of my favorite examples of Giant beauty and wisdom. Some of my favorite <I>happy</I> moments. I'll also get to some the sad ones if nobody beats me to them. The last two...
