Thanks to all again!

The Lord of the Rings are propably the books I've re-read most throughout my life (and I'm not even all that old yet), although I've recently been branching out more (used to have the mindset that since nothing could compete with Tolkien, why even read it. I sure missed out on a lot of good stuff)

I haven't heard of Mary Gentle, but I'll try to keep that book in mind when I'm out perusing bookstores.

On the subject of kilts, I really look forward to have one that I can wear everywhere at my leisure. I'm really inhibited by the lack of pockets on my current one, so I mostly wear it when I'm not going far.
I really want a non-traditional so I can wear it wherever.
Except at work, there's an express rule that males must wear long pants all year around.
