Lost Tales II is better.

cassiopeia · 09-22-2002, 12:03 AM

I just finished the Tale of Tinuviel (but not the commentary). I stopped reading for a while because I was busy. I have too much to read....the rest of HoMe and I want to read the Silmarillion again.

Sylvee Estel · 09-22-2002, 11:34 AM

I am reading, rereading I guess, Antrax by Terry Brooks. It's part of the 3 book series, The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara. The third book, Morgawr just recently came out and I am rereading the first two becuase I forgot what happens... I really enjoy all of the Shannara books.

Varda · 09-22-2002, 11:18 PM

I am reading the third book in the Harry Potter series.

The importance of being earnest--Oscar Wilde...hehehehehe I highly recommend it.

Oh I'm really looking forwards to that.

The only way I can read poetry is out loud....

Must agree with that! Have you seen the newest film?

I'm currently reading the Problem of Pain, by C.S. Lewis. Slowly. There's a lot to think about.

BeardofPants · 10-01-2002, 06:52 PM

The lay of leithian (HoME 3) and "The Code Book." - I'm learning how to encipher stuff.

haven't seen it yet, but after reading the play, I'm anxious to! I haven't read all of the problem of pain, but what i've gotten snatches of is really great, in spite of being slow going.

Aww, BoP, your beating me, I'm still up to HoME 2.

The Code Book - was that a documentary on TV, because I saw a documentary on that and wanted to read the book, it looks interesting.

I'm still in HoME 1.

Treebeard's apprentice · 10-02-2002, 03:49 PM

It, by Stephen King. I'm a little over halfway done.

Eldanuumea · 10-04-2002, 12:36 AM

I have just discovered a new sci-fi author.....just read Darwinia and Chronoliths by Robert Wilson

I will be starting the Confluence series by Paul McAuley.

I am trying to find the Lord of Melnibone books by Michael Moorcock.

**crickhollow** · 10-04-2002, 12:41 PM

Thanks to Rian, I'm re-reading Til We Have Faces. Hurrah for the campus library--I found the Lewis section, andthe Tolkien section last night...I need never again fear not being about to find any kind of Tolkien book. My campus library has them all!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 10-10-2002, 03:14 AM

Paradise Lost, The Silmarillion...and all sorts of stuff for classes, including Thomas Paine's Common Sense

I have been intending to reread Till We Have Faces for months now, but I keep going back to Tolkien!! It is high on my list again, thanks to your reminding me about it!

BeardofPants · 10-10-2002, 05:03 PM

STILL the lays, STILL the Code Book (just finished an interesting chapter on how they deciphered the hieroglyphs, and linear B!

) AND The Dark Knight Returns - a batman comic. *sigh* Too much to read!
