  I miss the days when random ghouls could challenge you to a riddle-fight to the death!

  Loved 7A! (For those with a dim memory like me, it's from The Hobbit — and I also love the next part from Bilbo's perspective: "He had a feeling that the answer was quite different and that he ought to know it, but he could not think of it. He began to get frightened, and that is bad for thinking.")

    Tolkien gets a lot of credit for basically inventing modern fantasy (which he richly deserves, and did intentionally and brilliantly), but I'm not sure he gets enough credit for amazing writing! " I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin. Then darkness took me, and I strayed out of thought and time, and I wandered far on roads that I will not tell. Naked I was sent back – for a brief time, until my task is done. And naked I lay upon the mountain-top...I was alone, forgotten, without escape upon the hard horn of the world. There I lay staring upward, while the stars wheeled over, and each day was as long as a life-age of the earth"
