I read a book by Jack Higgins, Dark Justice. It was absolute crap, Russians drink Vodka, Muslims are terrorists, and the hero is a reformed former IRA hitman... :rolleyes:

Lord of the rings scares me. It's like star wars and star treck, people dress up and treat it like a religious book, and they love the movies. I've tried to read the book, but I couldn't get into it at all, and didnt get past the first chapter, it seemed just like all other books of that type...
