been a long long time since I read my copy of the big paperback of Lord of the Rings where I have the old 2002-2003 paperback that has Ian Gandalf on the front cover. I still love that book. Read it like 3 or 4 times like 20 years ago pretty much. Wouldn't mind re-reading it again just for the heck of it
I feel somewhat ashamed that I read this last year for the first ever time, and that it took me almost a year to get through it. Not in a bad way, just that my life at the time meant I had like 2 hours free time a day, and that was juggling everything in life. I have to re read it at some point though - I'm one of these that takes more in on the 2nd run of things.
Anyway, not as exciting as others, but I'm currently reading
Ian Rankin - Mortal Causes. I have a huge love for Scotland, and I love how immersed I can get in these books because of that. Plus, I really do like the stories themselves, and ashamedly can relate to Rebus on a personal level in a moody sense.
I'm actually currently sorting through my books for ones to give to charity - went through a phase of buying books in bulk, to the point I now have about 600 books, and some personal stuff in life made me realise that I won't have time to read them in my lifetime, and I'd rather other people have the chance to pick them up.
