You got in both "black" and "magic," sweet. Sarah Vaughn, and Frank Sinatra covered that song, too.

Oh, boy. I read The Hobbit in 1980 and The Lord of the Rings in 1981. I still remember exactly where I was when I first read them. And that I'd see the sunrise and go to high school with no sleep because I read 'til dawn. I've reread them God only knows how many times. Of course, books can touch people in a very personal way and your favorites are your favorites and that's that. I can see how people would not enjoy Tolkien's work. I get that. For me, however, Tolkien is the greatest fantasy writer of all time both in style and substance. No one comes close. I mean, he taught English Language and Literature, as well as Anglo-Saxon, at Oxford. I'll stop gushing now but I would like to mention... You will gain a deeper view of Middle-earth if you read The Silmarillion. Also, reading his short stories or novellas such as Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham. could sway your view. Long ago I stopped comparing movies to the books they're based on. A person can take only so much disappointment and frustration. So when I watched the Peter Jackson movies I was impressed. I never expected them to measure up to the books and I could see they did their best both with the budget and the acting talent. The third film won the Oscar for Best Picture ( I think.) Even though it did skip the whole Scouring of the Shire chapters. And I figured the movies would expose generations of readers to the books. That has to be a good thing, right?

To me, Atlas Shrugged (1957), and The Fountainhead (1943) are the same book. For the life of me I cannot find a single point in Atlas Shrugged not made in The Fountainhead. I've read both more than once and, I think, her philosophy, Objectivism, whether you agree or disagree with it, ain't all that complicated. I find the radio address given by John Galt in Atlas Shrugged interminable. She refused to have Atlas Shrugged edited in any way by anyone and it shows. On the other hand, last I checked, neither book had ever gone out of print, which is impressive, so I could be completely wrong.
