Yes, actually! I finally sat down and bought the Children of Hùrin off E-Bay. (Wow, that was some work. 🙄 ) And I read it. I should have saved it for my flight to the States, but I just read the intro and then didn’t stop. It was very easy reading, and Alan Lee’s illustrations are so beautiful. Unfortunately I got caught in the year’s biggest rainstorm while I was out reading it with the pony, so it got wet and now it’s a little warped. 🙁 But I did read it.
When I’m in the States I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for more Tolkien books. I have the two Books of Lost Tales, published by Harper Collins, and I know the series has something like 10 more books in it.
Anyway, I’m hoping there’s some of his books I haven’t read yet!Greater Basilisk wrote:Anyway, I’m hoping there’s some of his books I haven’t read yet!
Oh, trust me. There are! Some of them and the stories he has weaved will blow your mind! I haven’t ever found them, though.. so good luck!
You mean on the flight? Well, I found an old collection of Agatha Christia books, but I’m going through those at the rate of one a dayx right now so I’m not sure there’ll be any left by Tuesday. I bought Resurrectionist by James McGee last week. 19th century London, feuding gangs of body-snatchers (men who steal corpses from graveyards, not aliens) and a sort of Van Helsing character in the middle. Not exactly constructive reading, I’m sure, but I’ll also have my German DMZ military magazine along. I think I’ll still need to find another book though. After all, I’ve got those five hours in Newark to kill.
GB, you crack me up!!! One minute you’re reading Tolkien and the next you’re reading DMZ military magazines!! You are too much!!! 😆 😆
I have extensive and well-rounded interests. 😉 😀 I really do have to find another book. I wonder what else Mom has.
I am so ready to go home.. I am reading this murder mystery/Romance and I am dying to finish it! Its called “Angels Fall” or “Angel Falls” Whateve… its great!! Lemmegohome!!!! I wanna know whodunnit!
Well, I met with Akeyla today to pick up the Great One of the Mountain watercolor and the sweet little bugwing dragon. I arrived way too early at the mall and spent a lot of the time in the bookstore. I ended up walking out with four more books to read tomorrow: A collection of short thriller stories written by a German, a Swiss crime novel, a factual book on pirates in German and an English crime novel. Aside from the pirates book, which I bought to learn something from, the others are just my periodic dabbling in the bestseller list, seeing what the market reads nowadays. For those who’ll read my journal afterwards, you can be sure I’ll waste some thoughts on the books. 😛
She’s been to my house twice. 😀 Yeah, we had a nice chat in a café over brunch in Sihlcity, and I got two beautiful representatives of her artwork. I’d post pics but the camera’s packed away. I’m still wondering how to properly display the watercolor…
Next time, I have to go to her house.Greater Basilisk wrote:Well, I met with Akeyla today to pick up the Great One of the Mountain watercolor and the sweet little bugwing dragon.

Nora Roberts’ Angel Falls? I KNOW who did it, I know who did it! It was slkdfsolsdkfsdos – oops, sorry, cat ran across the keyboard.
No, I wouldn’t really spoil it. They actually made a movie out if for Lifetime. It is coming out on DVD in a few months but the book was WAY better.
If you like NR try her In Death series written under the pseudonym J.D. Robb. I think Glory in Death is the first one and then Naked in Death. AWESOME series – each book is consistently good. I think it is up to 26 or so in the series.
