Thanks, PTK!
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I've got 30+ Heinlein books on the shelf and thought I had them all - wiki says I don't.  Guess it's time to go book shopping.

Started reading his stuff in grade school.  Some of his later work got a bit "out there", but I've found it all to be entertaining.
