Description
I saw "The Hobbit" on New Year's Day and was extremely impressed. Not only were the visual effects stunning, the humor was right on point. One of the funniest scenes in the picture involved the trolls, who tried their best to cook everyone for dinner. They couldn't just cook and eat them - they had to argue over what spices to use to get the best flavor. It was truly neat seeing this picture, as I read the book way back in 1974.Poor Fry is going to have to use his noodle to get out of this one.

Don't bother cookin' em! Let's just sit on 'em and squash 'em into jelly!

There's just something to that fire-smoked flavor...

But it is important to get the spices right. Smurfs are truly awful without celery salt!

Hopefully he can BS his way out of it like Bilbo did.

The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy kept me sane when I was in Guam in the mid/late 70's.

That was my high school escape; I managed to squeeze the Silmarillion in there somehow as well. I can still remember listening to Styx and reading LOTR on the bus.

Heh, I was working on that one when I returned to the US. I wonder from time to time what my friends might have thought of the recent movies.

I knew the minute I saw "Willow" that the movie versions of LOTR would come out someday.

It's a lot like the Old Testament of Middle Earth. I read Dune in that period as well.

I read Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" on a bus trip to Washington DC. Now I'd like to read some of the James Clavell novels, but they're monstrous books. BTW, check out my newest story at [link] and its cover at [link]

When "Noble House" first come out my wife checked it out of the library. Because it was in such demand, she only could keep it for a week. There was about 1370 pages, but she did it.
