![]() Also, reading 'Elli' by Livia Bitton Jackson. Very good thus far. And I'm half-surprised that you like Harry Potter, Sheeana. I thought you hated everything good except Tolkien. ![]() |

I certainly expect that he'd agree about the Comedia Jacksonia, as he has expressed...less than positive sentiment about it.
![]() Oh yeah, and she also likes GARFIELD! ![]() ![]()

In addition to Tolkien's "Letters," I'm also currently reading Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which I am finding quite shocking and depressing, actually (I'm almost halfway through).

Always seem to have more than one book on the go at a time. Am currently reading Robert Jordan's The Shadow Rising (No. 4 in the Wheel of Time' series - the blurb on the front says "Jordan has come to dominate the world Tolkien began to reveal", but I remain unconvinced. The book is okay, but the series is getting a bit 'samey'.
I'm re-reading The Hobbit (haven't read it for years, strayed into The Hobbit Forum and remembered how much I loved it as a kid, ended up digging it out and now v. much enjoying it. I'm also part way through the begining of Tolstoy's War and Peace but finding it real heavy going - still, haven't quite given up on it yet.....watch this space! |

I finished The Order of the Phoenix last night, so I'm now moving on to The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

I'm about 200 pages from the end of Order of the Phoenix. I'm trying to put off finishing it, but I'll probably finish it tomorrow.

Finished Order of the Phoenix and probably won't pick anything else up for a while. When I do, it'll probably be back to The Sum of All Fears.
