Indeed, I think what Frodo would like most is for it all to just end. Exactly as Adams said of Dent when discussing his motivations/desires with Hollywood producers.

> You don't see this in the pre-WWI authors. Look at Rudyard Kipling (see Mowgli who although Indian is very English). Look at Burroughs and Tarzan. Or even Fleming and James Bond.

Not to detract from your broader point, but Burroughs was an American writing a British character in Tarzan.

I also really liked Cage of Souls. It seems like most of the people I know who have read any Tchakovsky have just read the Children of Time, and not any of his other prolific work.

Somehow I feel like we have it backwards then. We should have the minimum driving age be 21 for the same reasons, with the added danger to others of mistakes.

Hmm, I really like the armored business attire present in three of those images. Kind of makes me think of the old Monty Python Corporate Raiders bit, but with a D&D theme.

I'll have a look and see if AT&T has a good offering in that space. Similar old man reasons means he also doesn't want to use Verizon.

Thanks, I'll take a look at those.

I came here to express disappointment that Unleash the Archers wasn't included here. They definitely express nerdy themes, especially in the last two albums, and they rank pretty high on the kickassery scale in my opinion as well!

The other 2% just quit.
