Terry Pratchett on Unseen Academicals

"In the nature of things, readers are often moved to suggest 'topics' for my Discword books. This is somewhat depressing, because most people who are not writers fail to understand how writers think, and if it comes to that, so do I."

ETA: "Natalie Portman is set to slay the undead in a movie adaptation of best-seller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it is reported."

A book about Orc redemption!

I too, when I first read LoTR (at about the same age) was a bit concerned about creatures that were just _automatically_ horrible because of their 'race'.

I'd been a bit off TP, but reading that makes me think I should read Unseen Academicals. :)
