oh, kudos to jk rowling-for making me believe in magic again. oh and tolkien. he writes a great 'hobbit'. i thank his man for his vision-to think it all started out with a man who was disappointed that the isles didn't have any myths...hordes and hordes of D&D fans thank him...

I can't thank Tolkien. Just like a very nearly DID NOT thank Austen. He wrote brilliantly. He created something magificent that, indeed, influenced my willingness to go forth a make something from scratch, but Tolkien was a tough read for me. (Lord of the Rings, not The Hobbit) I love how Jackson and co made it more accessible though with the films... even though the films were not, in places, a direct representation of the books. They were close enough to me.
