Maria wrote: "from BS North Edsa :) Yes!"
Yay! I have the same set...
Jzhun will murder us out of envy!!!
Maglaway siya sa inggit sa inyo. Haha.
Ok lang!Mayroon naman akong vintage editions ng The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Bleeeh! 8`P
At ito ang isa pang pic! *Pak!*
[Sige na! Ako na bitter!]
*high five* Louize!Hi Jzhun... belat! LOL
Chami: Ganyang edition din yung sinasabi ko kay Kwesi, sa BS Makati Square. Di ko lang alam kung binili niya today, ayaw kasing ireserve nung hitad na sales person dun eh, ang dami pa niyang pagdadahilan.
Chami: baka gusto din bilhin nung salesperson, kaya ayaw pumayag pa-reserve? LOL
Louize wrote: "Aw. Ewan ko ba kung bakit halat ng LORT edition gusto ko... but I want this most of all."Huwaw. O_o
@Maria: How much ang copy mo? Mine is quiet expensive and out of my budget but I'm very happy of my edition. Same with my the Hobbit. Hehe. Good for you! By the way, I went to SM North EDSA just a while ago just to eat dinner, sayang di tayo nagkita. But here's mine and thanks to Angus for sharing his finds! Yipee! This is treasure, better than Jzhun's copies. Bwahahah!
Wala yan sa ganda ng edition. Nasa bumabasa hak hak.
I agree to what you said Kuya D. Haha.
Kwesi: same ed tayo! P1,050 with 5% disc. pinabili ko lang sa officemate ko yan sa SM North Edsa. ang ganda noh. Wee!

@Maria: I agree! Pa-inggitin pa natin si Jzhun. Ang masgusto ko na part sa book na 'to yung colored map sa likod sa super duper lawak. Pang poster ang dating, wala yata yan sa yellowish ed. ni Jzhun. Joke lang! Bwahaha. Pero totoo yung map. Nakita mo na?

@Louize: Kainggit! Baka nalaman nilang mabenta masyado. Haha.@Maria: Niyahaha! Pero di ko pa tinaggal, sayang. Bwahaha.
Chami: Bakit may 5% discount ka?Kwesi: Dapat may libre ako!
Miss Louize: Hindi lang nagmamahal sa BS, nag-iinarte na rin ang staff, haha!
Chami: may promo daw sila. Pag P1000 worth of purchase, less 5%. sabi ng officemate ko. :)
@Maria: Since nag bukas ang Booksale, ganyan na talaga ang promo nila so sinisigurado palagi ng mama ko kung 900 plus nabili niyang books eh dapat pasubrahin pa niya hanggang maka-abot ng 1k. Haha.@Angus: Tagal ka nang suki diyan hindi mo pa rin alam yan. Meron na nga, pero di ko lang alam kailan ko ibigay. Haha.
Kasi yung maximum kong nabibili per branch ay tatlo (less than 500), dun lang kasi ako sa trade paperbacks nagtitingin eh. Minsan sa MMP na rin.
Tagal ko nang naread ito at wala akong naintindihan..haha maybe pagsinipag ako I'll reread again. I was in 1st year HS back then kasi
Pareho tayo, Krizia. Bagong graduate yata ako ng college noong shino-shoot ito at porke magkakaroon ng pelikula, nag-attempt akong basahin. Di ko sya maintindihan. Pero ngayon, peanuts na! hak hak. Actually, naka-classify sya sa Bloomsbury na children's book. Actually, pede! :)
Nahiya naman ako sa kopya ko ng LOTR! Haha!I have book2/3 like Jzhun's pero di ko na makita yung book1 so I bought the movie tie-in nalang dun sa warehouse where I got it.
Time to read this! Wala nang atrasan like I did years ago :))))
I'm on chapter 5 in my re-reading. Hinahabol na sila ng Black Riders. 3 sila: Frodo, Sam at Pippin. Pero sa movie, 4 sila yata?
Grabe children's book? Nahiya naman ako. My fault was that I watched it first tapos sake ko binasa. I was confused. Daming wala sa movie.
I'm on Chapter9. Naiinis ako dun sa map sa mmpb copy ko. Hanap ako ng hanap nung mga lugar na dinaanan nila before the Old Forest, di ko makita. Wala lang.I can't recall the movie. I remember watching it before kaso nakatulog ako sa sobrang haba. Parang di bagay si Elijah Wood for Frodo.
Anyway, bakit ganun si Tom Bombadil? Wala lang. So weird. Pati yung wife niya na very optimistic even in the midst of the Old Forest. Naalala ko yung white queen from Alice in Wonderland movie (Tim Burton) na parang ewan lang.
Krizia, tama! Yong map, hinahanap ko yong Bag's End doon sa start tapos yong daan papuntang Rivendell, wala nga. Siguro, paturo tayo kay Jzhun. There was a time na may palengke meetup, tinuturo nya yong dinaanan ng mga hobbits.Bakit di bagay si Elijah Woods? Para sa akin, bagay naman silang 4. Teka, sinong nasa mind mong mas bagay?
Di ko pa ma-recall sino si Tom Bombadil. Nasa Ch 4 pa lang ako. Ako na mabagal magbasa hak hak.
I don't have a certain actor in mind pero kasi Frodo is 50yrs old di ba? E ang kinis haha kumpara naman kay Bilbo? HahaI have a LOTR guide book by Colbert (?) kaso baka maspoil naman ako (parang maspoil talaga no?). Nalilito pa ako dun sa mga fantasy creatures (tulad ng differences ng Elves. Kasi may high elves? Ano kaya yun haha)
Buti nalang nakakabasa ako sa duty pag night shift. Nakakalimutan ko na nga magtrabaho e haha
Eh kasi si Bilbo 110 na! Sabagay, may point ka. Baka baby faced lang si Elijah Woods!Basta pag sinabing Elves sa akin para silang mga fairies (noon), tapos biglang "ay, ba't may lalaki?" hak hak. Ewan ko rin. Dapat siguro magbasa tayo ng iba pang book tungkol sa Middle Earth ni Tolkien. Walang katapusan ito!?! hak hak.
Onga. Buti ka pa. Ako sa bahay lang nagbabasa ng LOTR kasi hardbound ang libro ko hak hak.
Grabe?! Petsa na natin matatapos yung books ni Tolkien! Haha! I wonder kung merong tao talaga na super nabasa niya lahat ng books niya? High fantasy siya masyado for my taste. I expect to have epistaxis any moment while reading.Yung Middle earth letters, parang alibata.
Oo nga. Pero alam ko may nagbabasa ng whole Tolkien canon. May scholarly Harvard ekek. Malay mo, baka si Jzhun, gawin yan. Magpapakuwento na lang tayo.

I expect to have epis..."Tricia, I've read The Hobbit, The LOTR Trilogy, The Silmarillion, and The Children of Hurin. Nabasa ko yung first three years ago pa, even before I joined Goodreads (or knew that it existed) kaya walang written review. At di ako mahilig sa rereads. Hehe. The Children of Hurin I read last year naman. :D
Ayan, si Monique pala yong taga-Harvard :)
@Tricia and K.D.:Re on Frodo's age: Ang 50 years of age para sa mga hobbits ay parang debut sa atin where they will have reached the age of majority, kumbaga yong legal age para sa atin.
Nasa index yong ng The Return of the King yong calendar na ginagamir sa Middle-Earth kaya ganyan yong age nila.
Re: Tom Bombadil and Goldberry Kaya nga gusto ko sila as comic relief in the earlier part of Book 1. Down the rest of the books magiging serious na kasi ang tone ni Tolkien. In the movie, it was Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Peregrin "Pipin" Took who are the source of comic relief (dahil magaling naman yong mga actors to give them credit).
Re Mapf Middle-Earth: I'll be bringing my huge-ass Middle-Earth map in the F2F. But I don't know with our book moderator if she'll prepare a Powerpoint presentation to trace the Fellowship's journey to the land of Mordor.
Re Language Tolkien devised/invented letters and languages to make the history of the Elves (major language Quenta and Sindarin) and Drawfs—contrary to the modern word plural form "drwaves" as Tolkien uses the old English form of the word in his books—(major language Khuzdûl; source: Wikipedia) for a much richer and deeper background to his mythology.
K.D. wrote: "Ayan, si Monique pala yong taga-Harvard :)"Ahehe. Nagkataon lang naman Kuya. Masarap kasing basahin si Tolkien. Pero kung tatanungin nyo po ako ng details, wala na yata akong maaalala. Haha! :D
^Ayan oh, mas maraming alam si Jzhun!
K.D. wrote: "Oo nga. Pero alam ko may nagbabasa ng whole Tolkien canon. May scholarly Harvard ekek. Malay mo, baka si Jzhun, gawin yan. Magpapakuwento na lang tayo."Since I already read the trilogy, I will read The Silmarillion by June (provided I'm done with the last Sherlock Holmes story collection. Ahihihi! ~~,)
Wow, Jzhun. Ikaw na ang apo ni Tolkien! Ikaw na! But I don't know with our book moderator if she'll prepare a Powerpoint presentation to trace the Fellowship's journey to the land of Mordor.
Maria, my presssurrre! hak hak. Siguro Jzhun, mas maigi kung makipag-collaborate si Maria sa yo para kung may ganitong materials ka, pede nyang hiramin. O di kaya may special segment ka sa F2F. "Tanungin kay Jzhunagev" portion where the attendees can ask you questions kasi ikaw na ang in-house Tolkienese (parang breed ng dog? hak hak) ng GR-TFG.
Ay ayan, nakialam na naman ang lolo nyo :)
Wow, Jzhun! Hands down. Tolkienese ka nga! Wahahaha!Salamat sa mga impormasyon! Pero minsan, nabobore talaga ako kay Tolkien. Tama ka nga, comic relief nga sila. Binabasa niyo pa ba yung poems/songs? Ako kasi hindi na eh. Nonsense kasi yung iba para sakin haha

I'll lend a helping a hand whenever I can, but I admit that some details are kind of fuzzy to me. ;)

Basta alalahanin lang na di tulad ng Lord of the Rings at The Hobbit, yung ibang Middle-Earth books ay hindi "kuwento" pero notes, fictional history, etc. (Medyo parang fictional history book yung Silmarillion.)

Thank for reminding me, Sir Charles Tan. Honestly, nalunod din ako one time na binasa ko yong The Music of the Ainur. :)
Guys may e-book kayo nito?
This already has a thread! Yay! Share lang. There's this Popular blogger I follow[like 300-500 comments per posts-kind-of-popular], Mark Oshiro of Mark Reads, who does a chapter-by-chapter reviews on books. He did American Gods, His Dark Materials, The Princess Bride, Harry Potter, Twilight, The Hunger Games, etc... He also featured The Lord of the Rings[the entire trilogy including The Hobbit] last December.
His posts are often very funny and if he's not liking what he is reading, snarky. It might be a good idea to 'read-along' with him[meaning reading his chapter reviews everytime you finish a chapter]. That's what I am doing. :)
