Really? Cos all I've heard is what a big cheater he is, and how Canterbury don't even try to play rugby etc etc etc.

Talk about 500 page epics :) I'm going to have my own chapter soon.

@hadyn. yeah, but LOTR was one of the c20th's first big effort to write a complete hero mythology, with back story.
being "FIRST!" doesn't mean you're any good (see first comment)

and i'll admit freely that tolkien was desperately in need of an editor. that whole epic should have been *one* 500pager.
Maybe, maaaaaaayyyyybeeeeeeee, 100 pages. Maybe. In fact, just read The Hobbit, then stop. But if I may be so bold as to refer back to the first comment on this thread:
Lord of the Rings sucks ass.

<Pops in to see what going on 100 comments in...>

Don't mention the Da Vinci Code
The only book I ever read where a stranger has come up to me and said "that's a great book, you'll really enjoy it" because they saw me reading it.
The only reason I finished this ... was to see if there was going to be an evil twin.
For me that would've saved the book: "...so it turns out Jesus had an evil twin..."
