Then He Started Into Dealing With Slaves ...
MURDERED BY SLAVES. -- W.H. Harvey, Esq., residing in the vicinity of Lake Providence, La., was brutally butchered by his own slaves, on Saturday, the 21st of March. The prime mover in this tragedy, strange to say, was an old negro woman who had nursed Mr. H. in his infancy, and who had ever received from her master's hands the kindest treatment. The greatest excitement prevailed in the neighborhood, and Wednesday last was appointed as the day on which to burn the negroes.

Still Reading...
The Two Towers, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
I took a fantasy literature class as an undergrad. I remember the professor said, "If you're doing a paper on the relationship between Tolkien and Led Zeppelin, it better be really good, because I'm sick of reading about it." I shouldn't be surprised, but some yahoo has a web site all about it.
