Yeah, but I already read a lot about Preserved Killick who is a very shrewish character (I like to call him 'bagger) who goes around criticizing people and telling really lame jokes but never adding anything substantive to the conversations he participates in. He is one of those characters who is overly enamored with himself. Mostly I just ignore him though. When I read the parts he is in I just find him annoying - kind of like a mosquito.

Ah yes, part of the Lord of the Rings books. I am hoping to start on those next.
Yeah, I too like the sound of the mouse & cookie thing.

The sequel is being performed in my city and every goddamn week they have a picture of this guy in a moose hat in the newspaper. Apparently if you give a moose a muffin they demand full citizenship and suffrage and continuous media coverage.

In the U.S. you don't even need full citizenship and we'll give you the keys to the whole freaking store!
The Inheritance book 839 pages by Christopher Paolini. Great book!

Hard to say but likely it was Gravitation by Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler.
Wow! Isn't that the one that weighs as much as its name says?
Thickest book for me ... does Harry Potter 1 through 7 count as one?

I believe for me it is Herman Hesse's The Glass Bead Game (there is also a title from German which is sometimes used but i don't recall it).
Das Glasperlenspiel. Nice one, especially for chess players 
I like his short stories and novellas a lot more than I like his extremely long books.
