I loved the Hobbit and my husband always makes fun of me for it!

It's the chapters that are with the other guy that get me. All his talking throws me off and is kinda boring. I know I need to finish it, and I will someday.

Agreed. I couldn't actually finish the book despite several attempts due simply to the fact that I preferred the movie.
I'll probably try again someday, but for now, I'll stick to Johnny!

1218 Right now I'm doing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on audio book. Also, I'm reading Fly Me to the Moon by the amazing Alyson Noel, and How to Hook a Hottie by Tina Ferraro. So far, so good!

That's on my TBR list, but I can't buy anymore books and the library here often is lacking in good taste in books. I have to request that they order all the ones I want!

1218 So, Fiona. I tried to find I Capture the Castle at my library and they only have it on video and audiocassette. They don't have the actual book!

OOHHH...Creepy! I started reading it a long time ago and never finished. I should probably do that sometime. The only Stephen King I've actually made it through was The Shining.

I've read all of them up to the 2nd to the last one, and, while I like them all, the first few were the best!
