The Lord of the Rings Diaries made me chuckle quite a bit - very simple premise - that all the characters in "the Lord of the Rings" are screamers"

My favourite bit is in the entry under Gollum :

"Escaped from Mordor. Have made way to Shire. Am v. disappointed that in last few weeks no one has responded to personal ad placed in Shire Weekly. "Toothless, fetid greenish creature ISO blue-eyed curly-headed hobbit. Must enjoy squatting in darkness, jewelry-fondling, and referring to self in third person. No smokers."
