That sounds like exactly what I need.<br /><br />And with LOTR . . . it's so worth pushing past the part with Tom Bombadil. I know everyone says you should like him, but I never have, and I really think the story gets much better once you get past that point.Jessica Snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-35126260907511903762010-01-01T22:29:07.316-05:002010-01-01T22:29:07.316-05:00I'm almost done reading the Bible straight thr...I'm almost done reading the Bible straight through - it was last year's resolution, and I'm about a week from finishing, so not bad. <br /><br />I used this chronological plan:<br /><br />http://www.ewordtoday.com/year/50/cjan01.htm<br /><br />I'd never read the whole thing chronologically before, and I enjoyed it.<br /><br />We're listening to Lord of the Rings right now, during the evenings, after the kids have gone to bed. It's what we listen to while we clean up and do dishes and such. Very peaceful (even though it's about such terrible events). It's worth pushing past Bombadil (who I've never liked) in order to get to the good stuff.Jessica Snellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185831697537364088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-77333397922392506792010-01-01T03:52:15.855-05:002010-01-01T03:52:15.855-05:00Though I haven't reread them in several years,...Though I haven't reread them in several years, I really like the <i>Lord of the Rings</i> books. But I'd say don't feel guilty if you find yourself skimming the battle scenes. They're a little fuzzy in my head, but I remember having the conviction that no one really needs that many pages of description of battle scenes. Other than that, the books are good and fun.Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461553620578869595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35868329.post-37084540243484226832009-12-31T15:01:39.789-05:002009-12-31T15:01:39.789-05:00Oh wow.

I kinda forgot that it was going to be New Year's (I got a card that said 'have a great 2010,' and I spent 5 minutes trying to work out what a zolo was....)
