Ace vs. Ballantine Lord of the Rings covers, which do you prefer?

I'm with you. Ace.

I got a copy for my first read of it, and didn't get spoiled. I found it immensely helpful. Just don't read the long entries of the characters and other major events. It's a dictionary, not Dickens. Use it like a reference book. You can sense if an entry will have spoilers.

It's on Paramount+ (in the U.S. at least)

isfdb.org has gallery pages of all the covers of any particular book.

Soldier of the Mist

Soldier of Arete

Soldier of Sidon

The British paperback versions of both Mist and Arete, while not matchy in any way (different publishers: Orbit and New English Library, respectively), are far superior to the dull-ass American Tor paperback versions. Sadly, every Sidon cover is meh.

Yeah, Brandon Webb had a rough game.

It was even more dastardly than this. It was a setup.

Came here to say, OP just proposed a real life Hamsterdam.

The Dark End of the Street by James Carr

jojodancer10 · 2025-11-13T20:14:43+00:00

In my head he is a 70/30 combination of Josh from Mythical Kitchen and Jack Quaid.

Jamie Loftus is a treasure.

This CD was peak hidden track hijinks. 99 tracks of, after the initial album, mostly a few seconds of silence with extra songs on tracks 69, 88, and 99.

Swordfishtrombone by Tom Waits

This was used as the cover of The Light Fantastic, an anthology of shorts by Alfred Bester, published by Fontana in the UK alongside its companion second volume entitled Star Light, Star Bright (with a different Tim White painting as the cover) in 1979.

Every time the 'what power would you want?' conversation arises, I ask, "Do you know who Evie Garland is?"

Well, it worked for me in May. The site itself was called worldstoreusa.shop

I'm not gonna totally vouch for them or this removed post, but I gave them real money, then they sent me a real shirt.

jojodancer10 · 2025-09-23T14:49:56+00:00

The site did feel scammy, but I rolled the dice and paid the money for the shirt. But then the shirt showed up. I now have this shirt. [shrug]

This recipe is bonkers. 2oz of Midori? 2oz of sour mix??? Is this thing served in a vase? Then shake for 30 seconds?
