- Nothing Sacred writes an interesting post about Lord of the Rings as a science fiction tale. I don't agree that it actually is science fiction, but the points he makes about why LOTR is important from an science fictional view certainly have merit.
- The Torch Online has a really cool list of the ten coolest moments in fantasy. What do you think are some of the coolest moments in fantasy?
- Top Cultured has pictures of some really unique bookshelves. I have no idea how useful a bookshelf shaped like a map of the U.S. will be, but it's still cool.
- At risk of being hounded by Twilight fans, I must link to this list of reasons why Twilight sucks (it's funny, give me a break).
- How about a literary rap of Macbeth? See, now this is entertaining: merging pop culture with plays written by dead white guys.
- Lastly, I give you steampunk Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter vs. the Punisher. Need I say more?
Oh, and a giveaway:
- Blood of the Muse has a copy of the Perfect Dark comic to give away.

The Twilight thing is very funny, of course Chuck Norris could take anyone. I read the first book and found myself rooting for James to kill them both and dine out on Swan. Seriously, they bugged me that much. I gave the book away in disgust and skipped the rest of them.
Haha, well it seems like there are two groups: those who despise Twilight, and those who love it. And then there's me who is in neither group, but doesn't get it. I saw the movie...wasn't believable and I didn't find it particularly compelling as a story. Not bad, just nothing worth the hour and a half or whatever I spent watching it. Glad I didn't pay for it...yay Virgin Atlantic!
