Oh, don't panic Peter.  APPARENTLY we're the ones to get the "benefit" of it.  [/drippingsarcasmoff]

I was going to write a similar letter to the Eye, but I decided it was such an obvious joke that surely EVERYONE would be making it.

If you don't practice you'll never improve at anything.  Good for you.

Not THAT recently if it was an EE....(!)

Welcome back aboard the good ship Thrill Power, hope you'll be sticking around for a while.

Not a fantasy fan, but I'd have to agree with Wrly.  Although I'm not sure how much Eddings would appeal to the me in his mid (ok, late) 30s.  It appealed a LOT to me in my distant youth.

Can't fault Gormenghast though.

Silmarillion's a very good bit of world-building, an impressive effort and a nice bit of pseudo mythology.  It's also barely readable.  Very clever, don't get me wrong, but a trial to get through.  I'd recommend a read, but you might not want to read it twice so get it from the library.

And yeah, like Emperor said - leave it at that.  LoTR is hard-going enough at times, I can't imagine his notes read any easier.

I'm dreading the whole thing, is it wrong to move out of your home city just because there's going to be a sporting event in 2 years?  I find games at Wembley annoying enough and they last one afternoon.

Monarch's website is NOT about a Drug Enforcement Agency sex toy.  Sadly.

A clear winner for me for a change, working out who got second place was far harder.  Finally.

1. Lady Festina 3
2. Enigmatic Dr X
