Read:
The Fellowship of the Ring. If you have a chance, read a little using
voices of how you think the characters sound. It may give you a better
tag of what the characters are like in your own mind. Elijah Wood's
dewey-eyed Frodo, I'm sure, will be well-done, but I see a slightly
plumper, homelier man-child as Frodo, heir to the great Bilbo
Baggins. I've been having a lot of fun reading to Sherry the Fellowship
out loud, and I've a very clear picture of how they look and sound.)
Read: Some of those-there comics - esp if they are any of the following:
Planetary
Transmetropolitan
Powers
Barry Ween
Knights of the Dinner Table
Dork Tower
Jinx
Torso
Goldfish
Then read the Dillard. Let it not faze you. Take it on in that thumb
wrestling match we take part in each time we read a decent novel...
