Page One: The Hobbit
Page One: The Hobbit, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. I saw someone do this on Tumblr a couple weeks ago, and I fell in love with the idea, so I’m starting a whole new series of blog posts, which I will … Continue reading
“The things I do for love….”
That’s a memorable line of dialog — perhaps the most memorable — from any of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire books, and fortunately, it’s spoken in the television adaptation of A Game of Thrones, in exactly … Continue reading
A Silence of Three Parts
A few years ago, I started seeing mention of a new fantasy author in some of the blogs I read, a guy by the name of Patrick Rothfuss. His debut novel had just come out, called The Name of the … Continue reading

The Road goes ever on and on!, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. If I recall correctly, the last time I re-read The Lord of the Rings was in 2004; I was reading it when Little Quinn was born and during his … Continue reading
