I have just seen the movie and it was so great I have to get myself together and read a book too. I think it would be better read in a buddy read, so is anyone interested in reading
with me?

Oh! I wanted to go to that movie this morning for the cheap prices. Drat! Spending too much time on GRs. LOL!Sorry, Gea, I just read it last year. But...let me think about it. I might be in the mood to listen to it. ☺
Oh! The first show doesn't start at 9:55 a.m. like it did the other day. It starts at 11:45 a.m.! Yay! I think I'll go.
Report back what you thought of it, for me it was amazing.I'm not planning to read the book before end of Jannuary so there's plenty of time to decide :)
Oh, Gea! It was AMAZING! I could go back and watch it again. I may, on Christmas Day. But, maybe it will be too crowded then. Just LOVED it. They did an excellent job.The thing is, Jackson did a lot of reading of J.R.R. Tolkien appendixes to "The Lord of the Rings," that he (Jackson) added to the movie. I'd like to find a book that shows what Jackson selected, but I bet that doesn't come out until all three movies are complete.
For instance, I'd love to read info about Radagast the Brown, when we do the "buddy read."
Yup! I think we should do it. So, when? January? Are you up for checking out the appendixes, too?
Nice that you liked it as much as I did :) I watched in 3D format because of my brother but I don't really like that format, so I will probably go and see it again in normal format.I have read LOTR books years ago and I forgot many details, so I can't remember Radagast being mentioned in the books but he's an interesting character.
I would like to read Hobbit the week after 14th of January. I start with my exams a week later and I won't be able to read much then. Where do you get appendixes? I am all for it, but the book I saw in my library has only the story itself.
Okay, I'll look at my calendar. The appendixes are in The Lord of the Rings book.
If ypu buddy read it, I'll join you.
Great Gisela :) So when do we start it then?
Well,
starts on the 14th. You want to start this one on the 17th?
I put this up for a vote in HEAC group; we'll see if it wins. Are you a member there, Gea?
I believe I am. You were one of my first GR friends and I found plenty of groups through you :)
Really? That's neat, Gea.
17th is fine, gives me time to borrow my sister's copy.
I've been thinking about rereading Hobbit again. This will give me another reason. :)Lisa Kay, I went through the appendixes few times, well, mostly (For some reason I usually give up by the time I get to E :) ) and I don't remember anything about Radagast the Brown. And, now I've done search, and only mention of him is in the book when Gandalf talks about him. Maybe that part was taken from The Silmarillion or something like that?
I did hear that there were things in the movie that were from The Silmarillion.Man, I need to go see the Hobbit!! I'm dying to now. I wasn't planning on watching 'em til all 3 were out on DVD and I could watch it all at once, but the more I keep seeing previews and stuff, and people talking about it, the more I wanna see it.
I was going to do the same thing, Kit★, but I'm so glad I went. In fact, I want to go see it again! LOL! It was that beautiful.
Gisela&Tea I'm glad you're going to join us :) So we start on January 17th. Who will start a thread for it?
I'll do it, Gea. If there isn't one set up in the HEAC group. Can you wait a few days?
I don't mind waiting, but what about Gisela and Tea?
Let's find out. We'll still start on the 17th, though. ☺
Just currently unsure of the location. ☺
No problem with me. Just tell me when and where ☺
Don't mind waiting, if the BR is in HEAC I'll join you there.
Great, Gisela! I know it didn't win (it was beat out by Little Women). However, Pamela may set up a "buddy read" for The Hobbit there...there's been talk.
Little women beat up the hobbit?! What did he do?!
FOFLMBO! Good one, Gisela.
Thanks Mr. Elf! Just joined the group so I can join in the discussion!
Anybody interested in reading
?
Me!!! I think Shosho wants to read it too, but she's on a weekend trip. Pick a day and I'll be there :)
I want to read it too! Let me know when you guys want to start.
Anybody fancy starting one of these series
,
or
? I have some PNR series that I need to catch up on but doubt anyone will be up to the same book as me.
I love the Dresden Files. I read till book 10 of the Sookie Stackhouse series and honestly after book 4 it isn't worth reading. Haven't read Stephanie Plum yet, might give it a try.
I'll read the historical with you, I can't remember the name.I might read Jim butcher books too
Elishia, I'd be interested in starting the Stephanie Plum and Dresden Files series with you.
I'd read the Jim butcher ones. I read Sookie already. And I read the JE books years ago. I think I got to about book 8
Yay thanks guys. I'll leave Sookie till a later date.
I want to start
if I can get my hands on it LOL I am on a hold list for the kindle ebook from the library....who knows when I will get it :(

I hope I like all these series after i've asked everyone to read them ☺
