What are you reading now?

In English, of course. I read "Childhoods end" and "Rendezvous with Rama" in English. Learning by doing.

Ãœbung macht den Meister.

Hope you enjoy it. It is my favorite book. I've read it cover to cover 100s of times, and practically have it memorized.

It's a great story. Hope you'll be able to follow it up with Lord of the Rings.

Me too. Nothing wrong with reading LotR first. It's just that The Hobbit gives some background to the later book. My bad. I made an assumption that you were taking them in order.

I saw it at the theatre. I wasn't overly impressed. It could easily have been called "1001 ways to nearly kill a hobbit".

The LotR movies were great, although for my money, they injected a deal too much humor. The books managed to convey the misery and terror of the almost hopeless task facing the Fellowship. I found that lacking in the movies.

That's how I read them too. I'd never heard of them and someone gave me Fellowship which I devoured once I started it. I read the other two and it was almost 4 years later I found the Hobbit.

Did even you like it?

 

[zstairlessone]

Yes, the books immerse you into another world and the Hobbit isn't necessary, but it is very good and explains a few things. I really enjoyed them all.

Edit: in fact I am reading a book about Tolkien's art for The Hobbit.



From inside ...
