I think you'd probably like a lot of ...Thanks. I think you'd probably like a lot of the fantasy I've read. You have to remember that like Howard, Tolkien also wrote in a different time and the authors who came after them were able to learn and improve on their mistakes.<br /> <br />You should start a blog titled "How to successfully stalk Todd Snider."

I remember a few years ago...I enjoyed reading that. I remember a few years ago you just seemed to be suddenly engulfed by a love for fantasy. It's nice to see how that came about. I don't know much about Howard, but I will say that I've tried reading The Lord of the Rings and I'll agree that Tolkien went on for way too long when he was describing Middle Earth. Some people like that about him and like that about the stories - how descriptive they can be, but when I was reading them I would just think, "C'mon man, get to the action, stop describing Middle-Earth!"<br /><br />And if I had a blog, I'd write an entry titled, "Influences - Todd Snider" His influence on my life is immeasurable.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868633312179032484noreply@blogger.com
