Actually, come to think of it, when I think about myself having the bad habit of reading too fast for comprehension to try to get to the good parts, I picture myself with what looks suspiciously like Lord of the Rings in hand.

But, I couldn't have admitted it at the time. My best friend in high school was so into Tolkien, she actually read The Silmarillion. OMG. So to be anything less than total fan... HERESY!
