One thing I am worried about for the film is that it will be aimed only for teenage boys and the battle scenes will take precedence over everything else. I loved the scenes in the book where Eragon first talks to Saphira and the talks with Brom. I just hope that the film has an equal balance of...

Tom Bombadil and the scouring the Shire are two parts that I'm glad were left out. But I was at a Tolkien discussion at my library a few days ago and someone brought up the fact that in the book (The Two Towers) there is a part where Frodo says to Gollum that if he (Frodo) put on the ring, then...

Three children lay on the rocks at the water's edge. ~Daughter of the Forest, Juliet Marillier Not a very good opening line but a great book. I'm halfway through with it and it's one of the best books I've read this year-so far. Unless the ending drastically changes things. :rolleyes:

I actually liked the new version quite a lot, but I won't be offended if you call me biased because it's true :o The special effects were good and I thought the movie was pretty good all around.

Wasn't this Inigo from The Princess Bride? Great movie! Okay, here's mine I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely...that is a rare gift. Forgive me if 'tis too easy :o

Since the last post was on the 4th and it's now the 10th, maybe someone else should say a quote just so we can keep the game going.

This is a fun game that was played on another forum that I visit. Here's how it goes. I say a word...say "book" and someone else would say the first word that comes to mind when they hear that word. It could be "pages" "library" or "bookshelf." Then, it just keeps going. I'll start with...

Thanks Phlebas. That's a pretty useful site that I wasn't familiar with but now I will put it to good use :) Yep.....X....I don't know what I'm going to do with that one.

One of my best friends adopted a baby recently so I was thinking about what to get her for Christmas. I then came up with the idea of doing a Tokien picture alphabet. I'm going to make a binder and get pictures for every letter and all. Here's what I came up with for each letter. If you guys...

Couldn't have said it better myself. It's so annoying how the whole group of Slytherin is shown as evil. Come on, that's just a little unrealistic. And yes, also irritating is the fact that Gryffindor always wins in Quidditch, the house cup... Not to mention they have Snape for their head of...

Hi Phlebas! Nice to meet a fellow Tolkien fan. LeGuin and Shakespeare are good as well. You have excellent taste in authors.

'ello Niamh. Nice username and welcome. :)

Wow! I didn't know they were making a movie out of TOBG. I'm so excited! :D :) I loved TOBG and am currently reading The Constant Princess. I've heard it's not one of her best but so far it's okay. Not as gripping as TOBG though... I have The Queen's Fool and The Virgin's Lover and am going...

Thanks. I'll check those books out. Right now I'm hooked on historical fiction set in Europe. :)

Happy Birthday!!! :)

I love this book. It's beautifully written and tells a wonderful story. I doubt you'll be dissapointed.

Ah, Libre, you're so cruel to me! Now I won't be able to sleep tonight for having visions of my beautiful books going up in flames behind my eyelids. The pain...the pain...
