Ok. Tedious might not be a bad
word because they are seriously hard work i know. I'm just a bit precious ( pumn intended) about Tolkien because when i was given 'the hobbit' by my aunt aged around 7 I just know that it was a life changing moment and altered the way I perceive books now. This is why my boy is surrounded by books and not games consoles.

I'm the same about Pratchett
Got all irritated with some of the TV adaptations they've done in the last few years. They're not all that bad, but they're just not what I had hoped for. Teatime in The Hogfather was a major let-down for me especially.
