well, you're just going to have to wait, like all the rest of us.

or, you could be a total PotterNerd, and buy the book that's come out . . . about what's going to be in the book!

03-02-2007, 06:39 PM

um...no.
I thought it was out already... when then?

Started the Heimskringla from the beginning again. This time a published (as opposed to downloaded) version. Has more copious footnotes and is a bit easier to follow - although I miss some of the terser language from the previous translation.

I'm re-reading "The Hobbit" - can't wait for them to make a movie!

SteveDallas · 03-04-2007, 08:39 AM

A movie? Of The Hobbit? Never happen. Next you're going to tell me somebody's going to film The Lord of the Rings.

Happy Monkey · 03-04-2007, 02:49 PM

Unfortunately, Peter Jackson isn't doing The Hobbit. There's a big money brouhaha between him and New Line. And New Line's license is about to expire, so they may try to rush it through.

The first chapter hooked me, then a lot of the middle bored me. It's a heck of a project to read through!

I thought it was more faux-Austen than mock-Dickens ... overblown comedy of manners style and all, I loved the footnotes.

There are a lot of interesting little bits in this book, it's just unfortunately inconsistent.

I just finished A Feast for Crows. now i have to wait for book 5.. i hate that shit.

I read Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn last summer whilst on vacation. Now i've got the other 3 books, and have just started Grass for His Pillow.

Pretty cool.

I'm about to start another reread of the Song of Ice and Fire series in anticipation of book 5, jim. Best series ever written in my opinion.

As of right now, though, I'm reading Ape and Essence by Aldous Huxley.
