Still got my head in soppy romantic novels! I never knew I had so many! Oh well, live vicariously through the characters! Love-hah- ain't coming this way at the moment. Hoping I will bump into a very sexy, dedicated Tolkien fan at the cinema tonight and be swept off my feet- well, its nice to dream isn't it! Mx

In London?
I just read 2001. OK, I guess, but not exciting.

Right now I'm reading a book called Dead Irish by John. T. Lescroart. It's okay, it has a lot of unecessary language in it, and a couple of scenes that aren't graphic, but you get the point. It bugs me when people write books with great plots, but muddy it by putting too much language or sex scenes in it.

I'm reading Under the Greenwood Tree - it's Thomas Hardy, but surprisingly it isn't about the horrible inevitability of fate. It's actually quite sweet

Really? I only made it about 3/4 of the way through Tess of the D'Urbervilles before I gave up in depression...
PG Wodehouse is very funny.

Um, actually I am THE ONE trying to convert you two (EG and E XK). Study calculus and physics, you must. For it is in those fields that thou can defeat the magics of the Eldar and other Maiar and bring down, er defend the walls of Helm's Deep....

I was thinking more so we could protect Helm's Deep. But of course it will be quite useful for taking over the world!
I am easily swayed. . .I wish to study physics. . . (don't worry, E XK--this is merely proving how we are twins, as opposed to the same person which would be rather scary, no? fear not, you will never have to do physics if you don't want to. . .)
