For Brenda

What if the Tolkien classic had been written by someone else?

Alternative Lord of the Rings
 
The Ernest Hemingway version truly sent me back to my most hated book ever, The Old Man and the Sea.  Okay, maybe I was young and couldn't really appreciate it.  But then, I never could abide Tolkien's prose either, although I love his stories and the genre that owes so much from them.
