I FINALLY finished The Lord of the Rings. It was an excellent book - filled with long sentences and words that were sometimes hard to digest, but really an awesome tale. It is so fascinating to me that Tolkien created this new world, with various regions and powers, and even new languages. He not only gives you the three books of the story, but over a hundred pages of Apppendix to add to the meaning and depth of his characters and lands. And although I haven't seen the movies in awhile, I feel like they kept so much stuff out! So, as is usually the case, the book far exceeded the wonder of the movies.
Next I'm going to read something a little less intense: Thursdays at Eight by Debbie Macomber. It's a book Grama gave me about a group of women who meet once a week to discuss their lives and their stories. I'm sure it will be one of the women-oriented books I enjoy so much, and hopefully much easier to get through than the long saga of J. R. R.
