ever since i was just a smile on my father's face....or at least farther back than i care to remember, i have loved Lord of the Rings. when i was about 18, i came across this parody and i must have read it 20 times.
it is now available as an audiobook, and i just purchased it today. listening now.
anybody else think this is as funny as i do?
if you don't, that's ok....my wife says i have a twisted sense of humor...but, hey, what can i do?.... i like it.

Now they need to get James Michener's novels, unabridged of course, recorded. I'd buy every one they released. I'm an Audible addict. Not sure how many books I have, but it's a lot.

My favorite was the Ballhog.

I'd like to plug a worthy successor in the book " The Soddit "
Very enjoyable!

If you're into parody, how about The Flying Sorcerers for Larry Niven & David (The Trouble with Tribbles) Gerrold. Seriously funny if you're a sci fi fan. Loved most Tolkien and Bored just put me over the top! Freakin' genius!
I'll have a look for the Soddit ...

I must have read that novel 10 times so far. Absolutely hilarious and a truly entertaining story as well.
