Going off topic alert! I do mention 'smoking' though!
A quote from Galadriel, "The mythology he wove in those stories is just incredible."
Authors have been trying to emulate him for years now, but nothing like the original. I read it when I was twelve and have never stopped reading fantasy since.
I'll have to go back one of these days and read the Hobbit and the Trilogy again. the last time I read them was just prior to the first movie's release. It must have been the 6th time I've read the story. The movies, though not exactly like the book, is close enough and is so entertaining that it's OK that it 'strayed' a little bit from the original story line. I would have liked more of their adventures in the Mines of Moria. I guess going up steep steps in the darkness for days would have been too much for a movie.
Interesting thought, do ya think that a vast majority of readers (LOTR) are smokers, I'm sure that's the case. More so in the late sixties when it had a renewed resurgence on the 'scene'. My bother first read it as 'required reading' in either HS or College, not sure which.
Well what do you think Tolkien is mentioning when he mentions pipe weed??? I doubt it's tobacco.
Oh the finest weed in the South Farthing is "OLD TOBY" Not Longbottom Leaf...
I was disappointed that they didn't include Tom Bombadil...
I've read them all at least 50 times, and I have the Simirilian, and the Unfinished tales...
Well it's hard to carry off filming in the dark... All you would hear is voices and no characters... LOL
Led Zeppelin also mentions Tolkien (Gollum and I think the Misty Mountains) in the song "Ramble On".
I think most Tolkien Readers are smokers, I read somewhere that Tolkien was an Opium smoker. I also think most Scooby Doo watchers are stoners
Got a Scooby Snack???
You know I was going to mention Old Toby, I just watched opening of Return of the King and you've got Merry and Pippin sitting on top of (?) commenting on the Longbottom Leaf. There were two strains then, right? About Skooby Doo, that was more my little brothers time, but the guy (Shaggy?) looked blitzed all the time!
I'm more of the older cartoon fan, the old Popeyes with Pappy and Bugs and Daffy, and even the Road Runner. Whenn I was a kid the jetsons and Johnny Quest were new and 'big'. Too bad I wasn't toking then!
Has anyone read R A Salvatores dark elf trilogy? There are about a dozen books in that series, very similar to LOTR. I read it before LOTR and didn't like some of the similarities at first but he is a great and vivid writer. You will either love them or hate them. I have the entire series and have read them all several times. If anyone does read them, start with the dark elf trilogy, it wasn't the first set he wrote but the first in the time line of the series.

high warriior,
i took your word for it and ordered the books (dark elf tril.)....what is the next group to read? looks like hes got a zillion...
while we're on books, has anyone read all the sookie stackhouse series...the hbo series 'true blood' is based on them...gal, you might love this series...i noticed you read all the twilight series, me too...i think these are even better.....great read...just finished all ten, and waiting for 11 soon to be out....seeeee, i dont read just mmj books ect...altho, i think i have most of them also...by all authors, but j. green is still my fav...altho on the tech. side of it....thanks for the turn on...L
Tolkien was the man. Besides the Trilogy and the Hobbit, I have not read any other books by him. Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Aside from the mythology, he is an author that paints a picture in your mind with every word he writes. I thought Peter Jackson translated the imagry from Tolkiens books rather well, even if the story is... ahem... slightly modified. Hobbiton looked exactly as I had imagined it 12-15 years ago when I first read the books.
Yeah, stoner threads are the most likely kinds to get off track lol.
I am a writer too, but I write non-fiction. I experience life and put myself in trippy situations and write about them. There are problems with this kind of writing though... one it is dangerous to always put yourself in trippy situations and two, lots of times crazy sex and stuff happens and you put yourself in dangerous situations with the women. Especially if they get a chance to read your stuff.
But then I met women that liked my writing and that was my icebreaker that lead to all that other stuff. Sometimes I think they want to be written about and other times I think they think I am a challenge or a horse to be trained. They are so good that I will give up a crazy life for them.
Well Old Toby is in the Fellowship where he and Gandalf are smoking their pipe weed just before Bilbo's birthday party.
In Return of the King, Merry and Pippin are Smoking Saruman's Stash of Longbottom Leaf.
Saruman refers to pipe weed in The Fellowship as " Your Love of the Halfling's Leaf, has Clearly Slowed your mind" Tobacco doesn't do that...
I liked the old cartoons too, but my boys just LOVED Scooby... So I watched it with them again. Can never get tired of Scooby. Unless it was when that stupid puppy Scrappy was around...
So you tell me what exactly Pipe Weed is... From what I gather, it appears to be Cannibis...
I have and they were strange but interesting. The whole thing about living under ground was very 'dark'. Dark Elves. I won't sy any more as GD is going to read the books. I didn't find too much similarity between Tolkien's tales and this one though. I did like the books though.Has anyone read R A Salvatores dark elf trilogy?

Never read them but of course I've seen both movies.Sounds like CS Lewis.
He wrote the Chronicles of Narnia, most retailers sell them out of chronological order too...

A little more daylight if I remember!The second is the Icewind Dale trilogy, they list them in order inside the book covers. Let me know how you like em,he takes some time with character and story development but paints such a vivid story.
Woods, you really ought to go look at what I added to my collection in my grow thread today I just added two pretty good sized purple kush.
Woods, about the writing.... Just write. Open up a word processor and start writing. Don't worry about anything, just be free. You can save it and write something else next time you are high or inspired. Just write a collection of your thoughts and you can go between the post when ever you want and write thing to bridge them together. You would not believe what you may come up with in a year. Even if you are never published having people that are interested enough to read it and praise you is reward enough. I have had several women tell me I will write a bestseller. I have had my mother tell me since I was a very young boy that my writing is what is going to be the death of me. I am sure you have a story or two to tell.
About the girls and the sexapades, women read about themselves and know who they are and argue about the facts with me and shit. I tell them that it is my thing and they have nothing to do with it. I have often written with true first names too. My stories are nonfiction. One lady of mine, a true F-buddy told me that I live the life so my stories that I write are interesting.
You make me so curious about what ever it is you are a master of. I guess that is just too risky to share if you are the master.
Quite the collection of Beautiful Females you have there, keep up the great work!
