On last chapter of The Two Towers, then slid into a 2-hour nap. I'd forgotten what good old-fashioned nightmare fodder it is. Thanks so much, Professor T. Must've been such a comfort to Christopher during the war. "Ain't you scared, Tolkien? Them mortars is getting awfully close." "Not really. I got another of those long letters from my Dad." "You poor bastard!"

*L* I've always insisted that The Dark riders are just as scary as Darth Vader. I don't remember much of the Two Towers [it was read years ago, when I was looking for a "sequel" to The Hobbit ..] but i do remember some rather interesting dreams it spawned. For some reason my sister latched onto those tree-things as the scariest thing ever ..

Darth Vader completely fails to frighten me. He's a guy in a plastic mask.

I was explaining to a friend who'd never read the trilogy about how Tolkien wrote it during WWII and sent chapters off to his son. Gee a book about a megolomaniac who wants to take over the world, enslave everyone, distroy culture not of his making and generally an all-around evil guy. You don't think that maybe Tolkien was influenced by real life evets do you? Naaaaahhhh!
