Re: Bored Of... and Others

G, yes I’ve read Bored of The Rings and I enjoyed it a great deal. Indeed I sometimes think it should be made compulsory that if you read LoTR say 5 times or more, you have to read BoTR once (just to stop you getting too smug about it).
As to the idea of an Animated Movie – I’m not sure it would work (I doubt if I would bother with it personally) I’ve read the Book c. 18 times & BoTR once.

On another note, to Imlar (and any other aspiring writers out there), yes I would read it. If it’s good fantasy, and pays due respect to JRRT – being inspired by his work, then yes, very interested.
(on an aside to this, I’m currently reading the Dune Prequels – I always thought the Dune Sequels were a bit of a let-down, but these Prequels by the Son are brilliant. Maybe they’ve been out for a while but I only discovered them last month and have almost finished them – recommend to any Dune fans)
