I haven't, but I see she's enormously popular.
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

when I was going through a bit of a detective phase. I enjoyed them.
But I mostly don't read fiction. I mostly don't read anything much these days...

They are well done, but I never can seem to care about anyone in them, and I think it's because the author doesn't either; there's no sense of heart behind her words. Formidable intellect, yes, but that's not enough for me. I sometimes have the same problem with P.D. James. They are both very "dry" writers I would say. Not that I like saccharine writing, but something in between suits me better.
People with soul can identify with another person's basic human struggle without either judgment or indifference.
