bailedThe more I think about this book, the more I done want to get back to it. I‘m by no means a prude, but some of the scenes in it are more... erotic? than I‘d like in a simple read. I‘ll probably get back to it when I‘m not embarrassed reading this with my parents in the same room
My next book I‘m reading, featuring my grandmas necklace I‘ve been using as a bookmark. I haven‘t read it since highschool, so this will be a nice trip down memory lane.
Not sure if I‘ve ever finished Good Omens but seeing it in my boxes after watching the show has inspired me!
Back to Tolkien for the night. I‘m a little sad that the Two Towers is buried under boxes of books and I won‘t be able to finish the series for a while. I wish we had an apartment so I could put out my book‘s and go back to them when I need them. Maybe Dune again next? Or a new book entirely?
pickI‘m in the same spot I was in from my last post. (This time with added cat!) I devoured this book. When you wrote a book from the narrative of an established villain, there‘s always this worry that the writing will make you sympathize with the character, diminishing the events of the villain‘s previous actions. This wasn‘t the case and I found myself fascinated by the assets of the future President Snow‘s mind.
Look what just came in the mail! Now do I finish the Fellowship or just dig right in?
“We cannot get out. The end comes. Drums, drums in the deep. They are coming.”
Reading through this classic again, and I find myself thinking about Tom Bombadil. A lot of people think he was useless to the series, just a random person who doesn‘t add to the story. I can‘t stop thinking about what Tolkien was thinking adding him. Tom and Goldberry have compared to Tolkien himself and his wife. Why was Tom able to resist the ring, and make all the hobbits fears seem far away?
