Recommendation: Tales from the Perilous Realm

You may be wondering what a Greatest Living Author reads when he's not writing. Well, how about Fairy Tales a la J.R.R. Tolkien?

"Dark night, there is no light In the realm of the black magic man Soul's flight into the cold blight Of the destroyer's magic land "

Keanu Reeves is a lovely man; Hiroyuki Sanada needs to be in more movies.

"Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and marvelous power."

"Gráinne O'Malley is coming over the sea, Armed warriors along with her as her guard"

A song about a boat. Also, Vikings.

Now, obviously, a stupendously popular anime series about pirates is the perfect recommendation to post during a Tales of the Sea Giveaway.

Despite being set in Space, it's actually a very traditional depiction of piracy…

And, of course, because the most common lyrics are "Oh" and "Amadeus", it's really easy to sing along with, even if you don't speak German…

And we'll roll the old chariot along. Even though we're on a boat, apparently…
