Would that be a generic elf or a LOTR elf?

I think after I finish the current two books I'm completing/beginning, I will *finally* get to "Anansi Boys." I remember listening to Neil do a reading of it at the Library of Congress book fest a few years ago and really wanting to read it, but never having the chance. Now that I've begun patronizing the local library system, I'm going to make myself get to the books on my list.
