		<description><![CDATA[FARK.com directed me to a post entitled “10 Reasons why Gandalf is a terrible wizard." The reason I decided to write a point-by-point response isn't because I felt the need to rush to Gandalf's defense, but because I don't think the post is very well thought-out. If you're going to go after Mithrandir, at least put some real effort into it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are two locations that appear in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings that play central roles in both stories, and that can themselves be described fairly as “characters.” One of them is Rivendell, the sanctuary and fortress of Elrond Halfelven.

		<description><![CDATA[As an aficionado of the original books, I find it strange that viewers of the Lord of the Rings  movie trilogy have trouble telling the difference between the villain characters Sauron and Saruman. But I have heard from more than one intelligent, attentive moviegoer that they were confused on this issue. So let's get this cleared up...]]></description>
