I'm taking a little break from the Discworld to launch myself head-first into ALL the Tolkien.
Hobbit romped through, onto
Fellowship which I seem to have on both my Kindle and in paperback. I'm going for the Kindle version mostly because the paperback is starting to fall apart.
In fact, I seem to have a small pile of Tolkien paperbacks I'd mostly forgotten about, usually pinched from my Dad, including two copies of
The Hobbit which are both older than I am (one's pretty sturdy and one is rapidly disintegrating, so is being left well alone).
I never managed more than a few pages of the Silmarrillion, despite several attempts. I gave up when it eventually dawned on me that the problem was not my reading ability* but the fact that it's a shit book.
*I was off the scale on those school reading age tests by age 10.
Yeah, I'll see whether I actually read the
Silmarillion. At best, it'll probably be behind
Unfinished Tales and
Tom Bombadil (I'm not that fussed for the poems, but they might grow on me.)
