The reader delved too deep into the tomes of J.R.R. Tolkein.

Right now im reading Kafka so im trying not to adopt too much of it into my lexicon or people may think im more autistic than I actually am.

Oh I won't, dude woke up a bug and tried to go to work still. If I so much as stub my toe in the morning I'll just go back to bed and try again tomorrow. Though I do relate with how it took him a dozen pages to get out of bed.

I know thats not the point of the story, but that guy kinda wasted a chance of creating an army of bugs and become a real hero. Such a shame.

On the other hand, we got a very good story full of misery:)
