-
- FINALLY
- i finished Lord of the Rings
- (which i loved)
- (and was surprised by, having been so long since i read it)
- (and noting how true they were to so much of it in the movies)
- (really the only parts they embellished significantly was increasing the role of Arwen and the Arwen/Aragon romance)
- (and decreasing significantly the gayish overtones of the Sam/Frodo Pippin/Merry)
- anyway, much as i enjoyed it,
- I truly am
- DELIGHTED
- to be able to return to reading about
- SHIPS
- and
- the
- AGE OF SAIL
- at last!
- I’m going to re-read THE BOUNTY
- and take notes this time
- and try to memorize IT ALL
- and in other news
- we leave for mexico in exactly one week
