What language did you read it in, Falagar? And no, she will do nothing of the sort. Got my hands on Morgoth's Ring from the library today, thoroughly enjoying Laws and Customs Amongst the Eldar. Though it makes me speculate about Elven puberty.... |

Awww... You got Morgoth's Ring from the library?! That's something one can just dream about here in Norway.

I tried to find HoME in some nearby libraries, but it was quite impossible. Would love to get it though, sad that they always cut library budgets. |

I'm having another go at liking Walter Scott by reading Rob Roy. So far it's pretty good.

Yes, I did. For some reason I couldn't find it in Borders, though they had every other HoMe. I'll scan some and send it to you. |

Am feeling very frustrated and bored because I haven't had a new book in a while...and the library is closed because of snow. I suppose I could read the "Bored of the Rings" that my friend lent me, but it's so stupid, and I can't concentrate.

Re: Bored of the Rings:
Yeah, it's one of those books that you either think is absolutely hilarious, or just plain stupid. I would have to agree with you, ethuiliel, on the latter.
