I found Thursday more like Monday and Tuesday.

I personally found Friday the most intresting....

You really have to enjoy High Fantasy to like LotRs. And excuse the dammed small fonts.

You count LoTR as High Fantasy?

Well, it is, isn't it? A High Fantasy book is just a fantasy book that's set in a fictional universe. And Lord of the Lings is set in Middle Earth. That makes it a High Fantasy, right?

I never heard of Lord of the Lings....sorry, couldn't resist.

Well, it's also considered one of the foundational modern fantasy books by some people.

I need to post something similar to the grass one. It looks like something from a baby's storybook.

The grass feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The grass is green. It feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The grass is soft. It feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The soft, green grass feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The hobbit’s toes feel the soft, green grass. Gollum is sitting next to the hobbit. Gollum feels the grass between his toes. The grass is soft and green. Gollum is feeling the soft, green grass between his toes next to the hobbit who is feeling the soft, green grass between his toes. “This grass is soft and green,” said the hobbit. “My precious,” replied Gollum. “This grass is soft and green and it tickles my toes.” The grass feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The grass is tickly. It feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The soft, green, tickly grass feels good between the hobbit’s toes. The hobbit’s toes feel the soft, green, tickly grass. Gollum is sitting next to the hobbit. Gollum feels the grass between his toes. The grass is soft and green and tickly. Gollum is feeling the soft, green, tickly grass between his toes next to the hobbit who is feeling the soft, green, tickly grass between his toes. “This grass is soft and green and tickly,” said the hobbit. “My precious…” replied Gollum. “This grass is soft and green and it tickles my toes.”

“I am sleepy,” said Mr. Monday, “I need to sleep.” “You need to sleep, Mr. Monday,” said the Nithling, “you are very sleepy.” “I am very sleepy,” said Mr. Monday, “I very much need to sleep.” “You very much need to sleep, Mr. Monday,” said the Nithling, “you are very sleepy.” “Of course I am sleepy,” said Mr. Monday. “I need plenty of rest if I’m to write my will tomorrow, seeing as I’m going to be stabbed in my head and chest.” “You mean Dame Primus, sir?” asked the Nithling. “No,” scowled Mr. Monday.

What the flooping 'eck?
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

^IAWTC. What's the point of the second paragraph? Garth Nix doesn't write like that.
Nothing to see here, move along.

Neither authors write like that.

Tolkien wrote like that.

The three ships. Kinda like the Mayflower and all those.

It's not an exact replica, but a parody of his writing..

Not quite like that....I've seen better parodies.

Yeah, I got the parody thing.

For Tolkien.

Well, it doesn't match up.

New Topic, Yays.

Who's your fave character from the Keys to the Kingdom?

Mine's Suzy Turquoise Blue. I'll be surprised if anyone else says any others.
