Interesting you should mention Wilkie Collins', "The Woman in White."  I've
got it sitting right here on the edge of my desk, scheduled to start reading
it tomorrow once I've completed the third novel in Anne Rice's "The Mayfair
Witches" series.  I read Collins', "The Moonstone," just a bit over 2 months
ago and enjoyed it considerably.
As to "The Lord of the Rings": back in late 1971 an English girl recommended
"The Hobbit" and the "trilogy" to me during a 3-month wander through Morocco
and it hooked me well.  It was the first fantasy I'd ever read and it was a
marvellous experience which I recall with great nostalgia.  For the next six
years, I read it once a year ... like embarking on a journey.  If it is your
first time reading this story, I envy you!  Enjoy.  Say "Hi," to Tom Bomba-
dil for me.  :)
