Couldn't resist doing some more, this time with the text of The Lord of the Rings. I took out some of the more repetitive words that weren't adding to the picture: 'said' and one or two prepositions.


The Fellowship of the Ring
A very green and brown book for me, all about landscape, with Frodo at the heart. The font felt organic, natural.





The Two Towers
Blue and dark, because of the cover of my reading copy, and Minas Morgul. The font felt industrial, like Saruman's mind of metal and wheels. I stopped reloading at this one because it grouped the words 'Frodo', 'Gollum', and 'Master' altogether. (There's also "Faramir Before Aragorn" which sounds like a political platform to me.)





The Return of the King
Turning to light, and to water. The font seemed chiselled, like the stone of Minas Tirith. I ordered this one alphabetically: look at how the names Eomer, Eowyn, Faramir, Beregond, and Denethor all group together on the top left. I'm pleased with that, and with "hobbits" at the heart. The whole piece moves towards the word 'West' at the far right, and the start of the final sentence of the book: "Well...")




Last word to the most dangerous woman in America.

Oh, what a shame! They make good icon-sized graphics, but full-sized you can see all the words interplay.
