I read a lot, but I tend to read the same authors and books. I've only recently added Piers Anthony to the list. Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Mercedes Lackey...Who would you recommend I start reading?

THE MAN HE KILLED

by Thomas Hardy

THE MAN HE KILLED -

'Had he and I but met

By some old ancient inn,

We should have sat us down to wet

Right many a nipperkin! -

'But ranged as infantry,

And staring face to face,

I shot at him as he at me,

And killed him in his place. -

'I shot him dead because-

Because he was my foe,

Just so: my foe of course he was;

That's clear enough; although -

'He thought he'd 'list, perhaps,

Off-hand like- just as I-

Was out of work- had sold his traps-

No other reason why. -

'Yes; quaint and curious war is!

You shoot a fellow down

You'd treat if met where any bar is,

Or help to half-a-crown.' -

Like do you look up some review questions online and try to answer them? I think it's a good idea, 'cause it helps you to review it and catch the important parts your reading.

This is what Tolkien, himself, had to say on the matter: "Once upon a time I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic to the level of romantic fairy-story - the larger founded on the lesser in contact with the earth, the lesser drawing splendour from the vast backcloths... I would draw some of the great tales in fullness, and leave many only placed in the scheme, and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave scope for other minds and hands, wielding paint and music and drama." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Narn i Hin Hurin (Of the Children of Hurin) has been published in part in J. R. R. Tolkien's book "Unfinished Tales". Now his son Christopher has finished the book and will release it in the spring. Putting Jackson's movies aside, what are your feelings on this new addition to the literature of Middle Earth, and will you read it?

You know, like "chick lit"-style book. Being fat doesn't have to be the main theme of the book, but definitely a part of it, a part of the character.

When Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With The Wind, she was influenced by a home that stood directly across the street from the one that she was staying in. Where is it?

It's not for gifts. In my family, whenever we buy a book or comic, we make a point of wrapping it in plastic. I'm not very good at it and wonder if anyone can tell me how they do it. Thanks!

We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
Traveling through casual space
Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
To a destination where all signs tell us
It is possible and imperative that we learn
A brave and startling truth.

And when we come to it
To the day of peacemaking
When we release our fingers
From fists of hostility
And allow the pure air to cool our palms

When we come to it
When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of
hate
And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean
When battlefields and coliseum
No longer take our unique and particular sons and daughters
Up with the bruised and bloody grass
To lie in identical plots in foreign soil
