Tolkien's a special case; he keeps stopping the plot so he can quote mythylogically significant rhymed-couplet poetry of his own creation.
This is true. But you thought he would have gotten the hint when no one wanted to publish his poetry.
Sometimes reading books out of order is a blessing in disguise; it gives the illusion of depth where there's just obsessive fanboys. (Star Wars novels, I may be looking at you.)
Let's not start on the New Jedi Order. We'd be here all day. The only good thing to come out of those would be Jaina's struggle with the Dark Side. (I identify with Jaina)
Gabaldon named their daughter Brianna? That's a name I haven't seen outside of fiction in a while (which probably means it'll hit the top 10 girl baby names lists next year, hah).
Yep. And the first time we meet her she's all nervous about taking her boyfriend (who sounds like John Lennon -- no really they say so in the book) to meet her Dad. I was a Freshman in High School. Time traveling to introduce SOs to parents kind of rocked.
