Well, I think I'm gonna read LOTR first. I keep putting it off because it's 3 books and I know it will take a while. But, I'm really wanting to read them. But, I've got my lists for after that. And, I don't have to wait to watch some of these movies. :banana:


Uh oh, if you consider LOTR long you may want to hold off on the Wheel of Time series- each book is close to 800 pages or longer, the Sword of Truth books are huge too.:smile:

slaphead

Part of my problem is that I have trouble switching gears between books. Fiction books, I mean. I can read several non-fiction books simultaneously. But, if the novel is good, when it's over, I'm still living in that world for a while. I don't want to say goodbye to the characters. I want to live with them for a while longer in my mind. And, when I start a new book, they disappear.

I've read some books that I don't want to end that's for sure. That's why those are books I can read over and over. I know when it comes to fiction if I read a particular genre for too long I have to switch to a totally different genre.

I'm not here to get anyone. The conversations are priceless though! Online dating has not been kind to me, so I am here for the conversations. Thanks for the encouragement. It is appreciated.

Im sorry. frown I was totally joking. flowerforyou

Yeah internet dating has been hard on a lot of us. After my last experience I was ready to give up all hope. And then Yoda said to me, "No. There is another." So I'm standing on my head in the swamp waiting patiently. :wink:

Ok, apparently when people thought the world was flat, the direction on a map pointing up was East. That is what I got out of tonight's Trivia night, which was pretty diffcult tonight. No WWII questions, which is my strong point. They need to ask Sci Fi questions!
