should this not be in the trivia game section?
Bo Hanson's Lord Of The Rings with Tolkien
Lindh's Bilbo the Rabbit with Tolkien
Boring so far.....

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I was searching for the writer that matches the mood or character of a certain band, more than simply bibliographic references. But maybe there is not such a matching.

I think that it is almost impossible to find a match between an author
and an artist. Many an album could be said to match the mood (and
story) of a certain book, though.

Isildurs Bane's Sagan om Ringen is yet another album inspired by The Lord of the Rings.
Glass Hammer's album Perelandra is based on a C.S. Lewis novel.
Close to The Edge (the title track) is based on something by Herman Hesse (I can't remember what).

An interesting topic from last March (before I was around). Any interests to continue it and show how civilized you are? The idea: name (prog) songs or albums that are inspired by some literature. (Naturally the most obvious are mentioned already! See earlier posts first.)
Fountain of Salmacis re-tells the Greek myth of Hermafroditis (Pablo Ovid Naso: Metamorphoseon)
I Robot (Parsons) > Isaac Asimov's novel. (The debut on Poe's works is great!)
Leper's Song (BJH) > Graham Greene: A Burnt-out Case
Dust and Dreams (Camel album) > John Steinbeck: Grapes of Wrath
Piper at the Gates of Dawn was named after a chapter in Grahame's Wind in the Willows (no further links, I guess)
Grendel (Marillion) > John Gardner: Grendel, a re-narrative of Beowulf.
I'm sure many of you will remember some other cases.

Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast' goes well with 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' - overlong, ridiculously detailed, yet highly enjoyable.
