LOTR madness

I saw this over at Solonor's place, and it needs whatever further dissemination I can give it. What if The Lord of the Rings had been written by someone other than J.R.R. Tolkien? Suggested authors include Douglas Adams, Poe, Lewis Carroll, James Joyce (shudder...Ulysses-style?), Hemingway, and on and on and on...

Go dip into it at random. Some entries hit the mark perfectly, some don't, but most are hilarious.

My fave is Dr. Seuss #2! Talk about a collection! :)

I hadn't read that one yet. Wonderful. I'd never thought of Sauron sounding like Boris Karloff, but...:)

The film noir stuff is great, too. The Seussian one is fun -- I remember that from last year.

Brilliant! The Poppy Z Brite, Jack Kerouac, Grant Naylor, Anne McCaffery, Ogden Nash, and Beowulf were very clever. Must set aside more time to peruse. :)

I like Jack Kerouac and Ogden Nash as well. Great - even more than words can say :))
