The Lord of the Rings is a Great Book

A few days ago I finished reading the whole Lord of the Rings series (wrapped up in one big book). For those who don’t know what the Lord of the Rings series are all about, I’ll give you some information. They were written in the 1940s and 1950s by J.R.R Tolkien, a good friend of CS Lewis. The series is based on the story of a very powerful ring that is owned by a person so evil that he could be evilness himself. He loses the ring however, and at last it falls into the hands of Frodo, who is given the mission of destroying the ring.

Of course, that’s only an extremely brief overview, so if it sounds interesting I suggest you borrow it from your local library. I managed to finish it in about 4 days. Below are some photos of the book.

I had started converting the “A Study in Scarlet” last year from plain text files to a stylized XHTML file, but it was only in the last few days that I decided to speed up the process and finish the job. And the result is a complete story by arthur Conan Doyle: A Study in Scarlet.

This story is the first in the Sherlock Holmes series, and it documents Dr. Watson’s first meeting with Sherlock Holmes. The story includes a mix of the LDS (Latter Day Saints), a man bent on revenge and of course, Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson.

Enjoy reading it at briterwebdesign.com/blog/misc/A_Study_In_Scarlet.html. I must warn you that the page is 254KB in size, although that’s not going to worry anyone, is it?
