Maybe I'll actually read all of The Aeneid instead of dropping it halfway... A Deathwatch Guard Send a noteboard - 05/04/2011 06:30:23 AM
At the moment I'm on book 5. I'm reading it for a class, and we're only required to read the first 6 books, and I kinda want to finish all the rest of it, to see what happens, and just to be able to say that I've read this, but it's so boring!! The only version of it that I appreciate is the one I found on wikisource by Dryden, where the lines actually rhyme. Maybe I'll give that a try, despite it being much more confusing than this translation I'm reading.

Beyond that... Possibly White-Luck Warrior, when and if I buy it. Maybe even a Game of Thrones reread, since I just watched the preview of the first episode, which prompted me to read the amazon preview of the first book, making me notice just how good it is, lol.

Beyond that, I have no idea. I really want to get into The Lions of Al-Rassan, which I started and read a few pages of a while ago. Maybe it's the names being unusual sounding to me, but I wasn't grabbed by it. I want to try again though...

Surely TKaM is mostly described in a racial tension context, more than "growing up in the South". *NM* Legolas - 26/04/2011 08:20:01 PM 647 Views
