Not a fan of the Tolkien works, which is fine; I know he provided the basis for a lot of stuff, but I prefer how other authors forged their own (Dragonlance's Mountain, Hill, Gully Dwaves spring to mind).... even if I disliked the final Kyrnn series; Dragons of a Fallen Sun and it's two sequels were just bad heh.

Lol, ok. So anyway, onto a new topic I suppose? Hurrm...
So I just literally had a banana in my pocket. Therefore, I'm not that happy to see you. Discuss.
I don't want your stinky pocket banana.
Edit: Bah, someone fix the page bug.

War of souls=Bad
Rest of Dragonlance=Good
This is the truth.
Now for dwarves (And we all know I am the dwarf-know-it-all).
Forgotten Realms=Best dwarves of all. Especially R.A. Salvatore's dwarves.

Eh, friend of mine disliked it when she read Dragons of Summer Flame heh, she had just gotten fond of the 2nd Generation, then finding out most of them died made her sad. But yeah, War of the Souls was awful, I'm glad the series went back before that horrible trilogy started.....

I kind of liked Summer Flame... except for Steel dying.

Queggy- name all the dwarves in the Hobbit off the top of your head and 1 fact about them.
You prolly can't do it. Google them if you can't and then see if you can remember 1 fact now that you have their names down.
I am guessing you might get like 4.
Quick warning for you. I've read all of the LotR books (including The Silmarillion and The Unfinished Tales over thirty times each. Been reading 'em all since elementary school. And I memorized the names of the dwarves a LONG time ago. I will swear to you on anything that I did not cheat and look any of this up or anything.
(In order of appearance if I remember correctly:)
Dwalin -
Brother to Balin. Ruled the Lonely Mountain after Thorin's death.
Balin -
Brother to Dwalin. The Dwarves "look-out man." Best friend among the dwarves of Bilbo.
Kili and Fili -
Brothers. Sons of one of the few female dwarves ever named (Dis). Died defending Thorin in the Battle of the Five Armies.
Dori, Nori, and Ori -
Brothers. Dori carried Bilbo through the Misty Mountains for a short time.
Oin and Gloin -
Brothers. Always made the campfires. Both accompanied Balin on the expedition to Moria. Oin died at the gate when he was taken by the Watcher in the Water. Gloin is the father of Gimli, one of Frodo's companions.
Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur -
Bifur is a cousin while Bofur and Bombur and brothers. Bombur is the fattest dwarf. Later in his lifetime it took six young dwarves to lift him up.
Thorin II (Oakenshield) -
King Under the Mountain. Led the expedition. Killed in the Battle of the Five Armies.
Edit -
Meh, Fathios beat me to it. I was busy and couldn't check the thread.

The original three were good if a little cut off at their endings; the Lost stories were good as well, but I need to read the rest of them eventually. Best book though, is still
The Soulforge

Indeed, the Soulforge was amazing.
Although I admit I enjoyed where Takhises was killed in Vanished Moon. Revenge at freaking last!
