Probably, I have Lord of the rings sitting atop my monitor (and no, I don't own many books, and I haven't read this one) and it seems pretty thick. There are probably many unimportant details in the book (much like the resume would be an unimportant detail of such a troll as myself), judging from the horrible movies that I've seen so far, both movies were basically filled with long drawn out battle scenes when the simple story line is that "everyone wants the ring that makes them invisible, but it's a bad ring because it makes you do bad things".

I received a private e-mail saying that not even RMS considers the kernel to be gnu. I would've argued that it containing the GPL was enough for it to be considered Gnu, but then, I guess it's not really. I don't know enough, so I'm dropping it.
