He was a GREAT story teller! Yes, LotR dragged a bit here and there, but you were dissapointed by the Hobbit!? O.o
Zoc, the Hobbit was aimed at children, LotR aimed at college aged and higher. Big difference.
If you were dissapointed by the Hobbit, and had a hard time reading it, you probably had a hard time with Dr Suess as well. >.<
Read Mmartin the Warrior, not like other Redwall Books. Much Angst.

College age and up? Maybe my teachers were right when they told me I reached college age reading level in sixth grade... I always thought the Hobbit was geared towards elementary school kids and LOTR was for middle school and up and up...
Oh, and a random question.
GRAV WILL YOU MARRY ME
we will now return to our regularly scheduled LOTR talk...

Sorry, NC, Grav is already dating Blaze.
But yes, LotR is aimed at a more adult audience than the Hobbit ever was. If you ever read the appendices, you'll REALLY see the ending of the books though.
For those who never botthered to flip through the Appendix, the meanting behinf Thror Oakenshield's name is there, the meaning behind the phrase 'A burned Dwarf', as well as what happens to Aragorn and Arwen after the elves all leave the shores of Middle Earth for the grey Havens.
All of which won't be included in the RotK, if Grav remembers correctly. They're just special segments for those of us who read the books.

No... pretty much anyone calling themselves "Northern Comfort" is already written off as a homo. Sounds like one of those extra soft toilet papers.
As for poems and songs, please remember the time, genre, and style in which it was written. There are also songs in "The Once and Future King" as well.

Whoa, a homo??? NORTHERNCOMFORT SOUNDS HOMO!!!!
Mav, you shall never be forgiven!
Go listen to the song Northern Comfort by Children of Bodom. If you still think I'm a homo... well... you're a homo.
Sheeeesh... this from "Respect the wang"...
