Meaning of Life and Other Clichés

The above story has been reprinted in the latest issue of "7th Dimension", in both print and web versions. Here is the link to the web version: Meaning of Life and Other Clichés.

Now, I hope the title of this post does not invite some spam. The other day, when I mentioned this story in another post, I received a spam comment from some person about a book he has written which objectively explains the meaning of life. Don't go looking for that comment. I deleted it. Hence, the meaning of life still remains a mystery.

Congratulations, Ahmed! Very cool!

(Er... the "Congratulations!" goes for the reprint, not for the spam. That is, unless you like spam.)

(Hey, somebody must like spam, right?)

(I mean, for example, don't Hawaiians like Spam?)

(And I'm pretty sure that Vikings like Spam, heh...)

(Anyway: Congratulations on the reprint!)

Magic of The Rings

My critical essay, The Magic of the Rings is Temperamental , is now online at New Myths. Click on the link above, read the article and let me know what you think about it. ADDENDUM TO THE ARTICLE I have been receiving some very intelligent and interesting comments on my article and I plan to post excerpts from these comments right here as an addendum to the article. Those who enjoyed the article will definitely find enjoyment and information in these comments. "The serial publication of The Pickwick Papers was a hundred years before TLOTR was being written. Tolkien was addicted to reading and could easily have read it in his school library as a youth. I'll have to check if Snodgrass is anything like Fredegar Bolger, the fifth hobbit who stayed behind. (It's my personal theory that Neville Longbottom owes a lot in the last Harry Potter novel to Fatty Bolger and his resistance efforts on the home front while his pals were off in the wilderness.) But the clincher for the Pick
