I started reading The Best Horror of the Year Volume One as seen here:  http://www.amazon.com/Bes...e+best+horror+of+the+year

I bought it back when Borders was going out of business and never got around to it.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Reading The Black Company

Pretty interesting fantasy world. Really evident that Bungie raped it for their Myth mythos.

The Variant Effect

Reading "Kafka on the Shore." I've been on a big Murikami kick recently.

[Cryptid Collector]

I'm re-reading a YA novel I liked as a kid called "Werewolf Rising", it's funny because it does the "try to humanize the monsters" thing like Twilight, but's actually pretty good and it's own little self-made Werewolf mythos is kinda interesting. 

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Finished the first three Black Company novels. Really fun blend of low/high fantasy that's really well written. Makes ol' RR Marty look like the twelve year old kid that he is.

that's not difficult

"BOOBIES"

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

Started American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

Finally reading The Hobbit, which I got as a birthday gift last year. Having already read The Lord of the Ring in years past, it's amazing to see how the difference in writing between the two books. It's almost like each novel was written by a different person.

ya you really should have read the hobbit first. besides story sequence, it's a much better experience to go from the light hearted Hobbit into the much better written LotR rather than the other way around.

Would have love to, but the cards fell a bit oddly on this one. The Lord of the Rings trilogy was given to me years ago when the movie had just hit the theaters, likewise with The Hobbit. Writing aside, I also already have a general idea of story progression, what with growing up on multiple viewings of the Rankin-Bass films.

i still need to see all the rankin bass ones, even though i've heard they're terrible compared to the peter jackson versions. i'd also like to listen to the 1981 BBC radio play of Lord of the Rings someday, it even had Ian Holm as Frodo (instead of Bilbo that he played in the peter jackson movies).

it's not a trilogy.

[The Metamorphosing Leon]

The animated hobbit isn't really bad at all. The LOTR ones cut wayyyyy too much.

[JSoup]

The Rankin-Bass films aren't really that bad, in my opinion, but it all depends on what you're trying to get out of them. They aren't the action packed adventures that the Jackson films are, but they are examples of decent animation mixed with great story telling. Having seen the newer Hobbit film, I think the Rankin-Bass version is superior. But yeah, as The Infinite Leon said, the LOTR animation is lacking a lot of content, to the point that it's pretty much a highlight reel of the most important of the important parts of the trilogy.
