Second time reading the LOTR series. Not really getting into the other one.

Working my way through the Dune saga. Slight downward trend from the first, but they're all pretty brilliant nonetheless.

It's the Sir Edwin Arnold translation. It's very... interesting. A lot more thought-provoking than the Bible though, to say the least.

I wish you the best. It's was a challenging read for me, but I was determined to get through it. There's a great deal of wisdom in that text.

Yeah. It gets weird when they start using about 7 different names to refer to the same person.

Oh sweet! Which other palahniuk books have you read that you liked? I thought this:

and this:

were pretty cool. Not up to the par of Invisible Monsters but still rad.

Choke (not including the image cuz i can only have 4) was great!

and these:

eh... not so much.

It's been a long time since I read all these though.
