I have started reading The Fellowship of the Ring, but thus far I am only 9 pages in and therefore, I don't have a ton to say. However, I am anticipating this book being a little more exciting than The Hobbit (although I think the background was necessary) and easier for me to grasp since I have seen the first movie several times. So far they are preparing for Bilbo's "eleventy-first" birthday party and that's about it.
As much as I do want to read this book next, I also have some others that I would rather read first. I'm not sure if I'll do this simultaneously with another, since I think it's going to take me a while to get through. I guess I am so interested to find out what happens in all of them that I get distracted and can't decide. Luckily I bought 6 books at a time so I am going to make sure I finish those before choosing one that I don't have yet so that I don't spend too much money on books I haven't read or get slammed with library fines. But classes have ended for 5 weeks, and it's currently vacation, so I think now is as good a time as any to get the Lord of the Rings series over with now that I have a lot of time on my hands.
So, I guess this section of the blog will be consumed with LOTR 24-7. This is going to take a while...
