Okay, I've got a load of stories I should be working on, and I owe two people stories anyway, and then a challenge on m7land set my plot bunnies rioting.

Yeah, 'cause I didn't have enough going already?!?

Yeesh!

Plot bunnies for sale!

I did these for crimeland and thought I would share.

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

Well, I'm guessing I'm going to try this out...let's see if I can manage 100 things before losing track!

100 things from media that I have or do enjoy. (Media - movies, television, books, music...I'm giving myself as open a space as possible!)

For number 1, I have to start with a book. I've been reading since I was two, and books have been my power, my escape, and at times, my only friends outside of my family. So, the book I have read most often in my life...

The Lord of the Rings

I've probably read this book more than a dozen times, and I get something new out of it every time. Yes, I know it is sold as a trilogy, but it was written as a single book and should be read that way. This classic tale is relevant to every generation in its depiction of the never-ending battle between good and evil.

One of the best parts of the story? The heroes - despite all their power and valor, the true heroes are not taken from the races of Man, Elf, Dwarf, or Wizard. The simplest of folk, the Hobbits, provide the real heroes of the book. Without the Hobbits, none of the Great Acts of the book would have been possible, and Sauron would not have fallen.

Sauron is another great part of this book - he is the great evil behind all of the lesser evils. He is the most frightening type of evil...the insidious kind that you can never really face because he is like smoke. Even though he never really physically appears on the scene, he is on practically every page of the book. His evil infects the whole of Middle Earth, and there can be no chance of a victory for good until he is defeated. Once he is brought down, there are still battles to be fought and evil to be faced, but these are cleaning up actions...good has won, now it must solidify the victory by beating back the remnants of Sauron's poison.

JRR Tolkien was a devout Roman Catholic, and as a fellow Catholic, I can see his faith seeping through the novel in many ways, but most assuredly in this aspect of good versus evil.

With its ongoing relevance for all peoples and all times, it is a safe bet that this book will always be a popular choice somewhere...anywhere people embrace the idea of the good and the free taking responsibility for protecting the weak and standing strong against evil.
