My dad, who isn't even a very big reader, loved them and nagged me for years to read them. I finally gave it a shot and struggled all the way through The Fellowship of the Ring and thought, uh...nevermind, and gave up. When the movies came out (combined with more nagging from dad), I picked them up to give them a second shot only to find that the middle one gets much better and that The Return of the King is one of my favorite books ever! <BR/><BR/>What you said about Orhan Pamuk books reminded me of me. I often find that I manage to accumulate a bunch of one author's books without actually *reading* any thus implying that I'm well-read in that author. Guess I'm a victim of my own good intentions!Meganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07751131767729086158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751363.post-74089298135563847072008-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:002008-01-30T14:17:00.000-05:00I couldn't remember whether the 'L' was capitalized or not. lolkaren!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03020530163370836712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31751363.post-46083740441117927472008-01-30T11:16:00.000-05:002008-01-30T11:16:00.000-05:00High tea?
