If you can make them laugh, you can make them cry

When the Lord of the Rings movies were still coming out, Merry and Pippin were set up as the comic relief. They do the goofball things, they have the best punchlines. You take them the least seriously of any of the hobbits.

They get into some danger now and then, and they do get kidnapped by orcs. But compared to the pathos of Frodo and Sam, Merry and Pippin usually get off light.

Good story

Good story, I enjoyed it! I'm not terribly into gladiators, but this wound up being more like Wrestlemania only with more fatalities. One hero is the Babyface, the other is the Heel, and they have to team up if they want out alive. Oh, and

A remarkable read about how overfarmed, useless farmland is left to go wild. Helped along by deer, cattle, pigs, and other ancient breeds known for looking after themselves, Knepp farm becomes something of a nature preserve. Each chapter of the book ...more

Super fun read

I know this book got thoroughly roasted because of the orc city memes. But I gave it a shot and found that it was great fun. It's not quite litRPG or progression fantasy, but it shares a lot of DNA with them. Lots of Dungeons and Dragon

“Jesus promised his disciples three things—that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.”
William Barclay, The Gospel of Luke - Enlarged Print Edition

Stephen  King
“Sometimes it's beautiful and we fall in love with all that story. Even after a thousand pages we don't want to leave the world the writer has made for us, or the make-believe people who live there. You wouldn't leave after two thousand pages, if there were two thousand. The Rings trilogy of J.R.R.Tolkien is a perfect example of this. A thousand pages of hobbits hasn't been enough for three generations of post-World War II fantasy fans; even when you add in that clumsy, galumphing dirigible of an epilogue, The Silmarillion, it hasn't been enough. Hence Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony, Robert Jordan, the questing rabbits of Watership Down, and half a hundred others. The writers of these books are creating the hobbits they still love and pine for; they are trying to bring Frodo and Sam back from the Grey Havens because Tolkien is no longer around to do it for them.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
