[Glenethor]

I haven't read the book, haven't seen the movie, but there is no way that either are in the same class as Tolkien. The only other fantasy books I have ever read were the ones with the leper who wakes up in some other universe. Forget the name of the series, I think the author was Donaldson, but I do remember thinking that it was a pale ripoff of Tolkien. I am sure that most fantasy stuff written after 1954 owe a lot to JRR. I am not really into fantasy or sci-fi, per se. I <I>am</I> into good writing more than any genre. Tolkien's works are the only fantasy works that really captured me.<P>==============================<BR><I>Never laugh at live Dragons</I>
