John Grisham....a quarter OUT.

Actually I like the guy; he's a good author who comes up with some crazy plot twists. His books are always good reads. However, the man who I most love when it comes to reading is JRR Tolkien, or as I like to call him, JT. He is the genius behind such captivating stories as The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Lord of the Rings II, and The Lord of the Rings III. Seriously, if he can make four ridiculously long books about a bunch of really short people running around and conquering Dark Lords and wearing rings and stuff, then he's got some major talent.

My favorite story by him has got to be The Hobbit, by far. It's such a great story, with an intricate plot woven together by a master storyteller. He just brings the entire story to life with his ridiculous descriptions of the setting and characters. When I read it/listen to it on audio tape I feel like im walking around with Bilbo and his gang of merry dwarves. Bilbo's such a funny little guy; it's incredible that JT could have invented this entire new world full of magic and short people and elves and wizards...he must have had one crazy imagination.
