Right. I still haven't finished it yet, but it's quite engaging.

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....

Read it in Norwegian, it dumped down my mail-box one day and it looked exciting so I decided to try it out. Hoping for an Englis version soon, but hardcover, leatherbound English copies of His Dark Materials don't just fall down from heaven, you know! *waits patiently*

Awww...

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

Twista · 01-17-2004, 09:29 AM

In my school libary we have all the historys of ME in single edition.

I don´t have leatherbound His Dark Materials, but I bought them in english hardback on Norli by the University. They look quite nice!

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.

Grey_Wolf · 01-17-2004, 12:45 PM

At the moment I'm halfway through my second reading of The Silmarillion.

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

They do if I send one to you.

$30 Australian, half price.

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.

i finally found something to read and i'm bouncing back and forth between The Demon Awakens and Dragonlances' The Time of Twins

I already have it, but i payed a lot of money for it!

Still lack three HoMe-books (The Shaping and Volume 6 & 7), would be veeeery nice of you to do that.

Churcill's History of English-Speaking Peoples II: The New World (restarting the reading of it)

Shadowfax · 01-27-2004, 05:17 PM

Book of Lost Tales 2.

ethuiliel · 01-27-2004, 06:19 PM

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.

Shadowfax · 01-28-2004, 02:59 AM

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.

**Nurvingiel** · 01-28-2004, 03:24 AM

I'm itching to read Roverandom! (I have it now.)

Grey_Wolf · 01-28-2004, 02:40 PM

Am also rerereading Roger Lancelyn Green's King Arthur And His Knights of the Round Table.

Just got my hands on a copy of Mr. Bliss. Too bad I have to bring it back to the library in a few weeks.

So am I! I like it alright so far. It was a little hard to get into at first, but now it's ok.
