What's the "nerdiest" thing you've ever read, in terms of fiction? Book, fanfic, manga, I don't care, just pick!
Umm...my dad pestered me until I read a book on physics called Black Holes and Baby Universes. I actually understood about half of it. ^^;
Well... I'm not sure if it makes me a nerd or a fantasy buff, but I finally struggled my way through The Silmarillion. Yeesh- I can't go three words without running into something along the lines of "fell fiend". It's probably a good thing that my idol authors are Mark Twain, O'Henry, and Hemingway, because I would have to shoot myself if I wrote anything like that on purpose. No offense to Tolkien, because for him it got the job done, but I could never pull that off. Ever.
Oh geez...my best friend would rant at you right now. She's read The Silmarillion several times...and frequently yells at me to read the LotR books...which I just don't want to do...
Who here is actually interested in taking Astinus's suggestion and re-starting the ill-fated "Character Chat Thread" as a social group?
Me! I could figure it out, if you want.
