Incomprehensible Blathering

The shallow stream is easily crossed. The shallow mind, even more so.

Listening to a book

My most recent ex-wife recently found some of my CD's and was kind enough to return them to me. Among them were the four books of Tolkien and although "The Hobbit" is a good prelude, but I truly enjoy "The Lord of the Rings". To that end, I am listening to the unabridged version of "The Fellowship of the Ring" again. I've listened to it before and of course read the books many times but the writing is so good I love to listen to it again. I would love to be able to write like him. His style (although verbose) is so enjoyable to me.

Ah, Boromir; though tempted were you by power, such an end you made as is worthy of song. 20 at least he slew, and 4 were greater than the usual orc, half-orc by all counts. 'Tis an end befitting a great warrior.
