Go ahead.
Patrick RothfussI grew up reading Tolkien, and I love him. But I love him in the way that you love that rambly old grandfather. You have to sit through some pretty off-topic stuff before he starts telling his cool old war stories.

Patrick RothfussI don't actually have cable. I watch TV, but only shows that I buy on DVD. As a result my TV rage factor is pretty low right now.
