I finally relented and got myself an e-book reader for Xmas... Now I can literally carry a library in my pocket when I go on holiday! I'm presently reading 'The Year of Living Biblically' by A.J. Jacobs on it. What a hoot of a read! |

I just picked up a copy of THE HOBBIT to start reading. I honestly can't remember when I last read it. :)
Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good-fortune -I myself am good fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing Strong and content, I travel the open road... -– Walt Whitman, Song of the Open Road |

They're filming some of that right now here in New Zealand and not too far from where I live! |

That would be so neat to live where they are filming that. The LOTR trilogy landscape was so beautiful! :)

It is a beautiful landscape, Holly, and most of it still, thankfully, unspoilt! |

Oh this is funny! I don't drop in here very often, but when I did, I found a post from ME on page one, from 2007, saying I was just re-reading the Gabaldon Outlander series through A Breath of Snow and Ashes because book 7 (An Echo in the Bone) was about to be released... or sort of 'about to' - 2008 I think. and here it is five years later and I am.... re-reading Gabaldon's Outlander series start to finish through An Echo in the Bone because book EIGHT is sort of imminant (as in, maybe in 2013 sometime): Written in My Own Heart's Blood. (The Scottish Prisoner, a shorter novel in the peripheral series of Lord John books, was recently released (November) so I was returned to the world of Jamie and Claire (although Claire isn't in that one), and was impelled to return to the entire series once again). May I say, these are, indeed, very very good, and well worth re-reading? Maybe even more than twice? Seven (big!) books in the 'main' series, two novels and several shorter novellas and stories in the Lord John series (which COULD be skipped, but shouldn't be) - and re-reading the entire body of work isn't a short-term program.
Blessed are You, HaShem, Who blesses the years.

I'm having a break from my regular diet of science and history books and am reading 'The Game of Thrones' and finding it thoroughly engaging! |

I already finished Anna Karenina written by Leo Tolstoy and I'm going to read Vanity Fair: a novel without a Hero by William Makepeace Thackeray. |
