   My vote would be for The Riftwar Saga by Raymond Feist. Another series that would be basically a better version of LoTR would be The Belgariad and The Malloreon series from David Eddings. 10+ books worth of material from the two series.

    Ha! I have a rather large property, and I thoroughly enjoy putting on my headphones and hopping on the riding mower for three hours on a Saturday afternoon.

    I still dream of a world where FogBugz & Kiln gained the respect they deserved. Mercurial was pretty damn nice.

    This is one of the reasons I have stayed at my company for 21 years. Many times I have been tempted by the greener grass on the other side of the fence, but it seems to be such a random crap shoot if a company is going to be a good experien

    Five years ago, my company offered me a fully funded relocation package to Florida. The shitty education system was one of the primary reasons we declined the offer. I have never regretted the decision for one single minute since then.
