    Kinda sucks how they left out the whole story with Tom Bombadil.

    Yeah, I found their omissions to be rather strange because they are such an integral part of the tail. But it doesn't matter I suppose, Peter Jacksons Lord of the Ring and J.R.R. Tolkiens are two different beasts, meant to be enjoyed in different ways .

    It's the basis for the TV series called "True Blood." The beginning was tedious, followed by random dramatical bits and a very dramatic finish. All in all it was a good read, albeit a tad cliche'd with regards to vampires and their way of life. The setting and main character are not things I can identify with at all, but it was different and helped to make things slightly more interesting.
    I'm watching True Blood now. Very adult! But kinda boring.

    Last book I read was Peter Straub - Ghost Story. An excellent read.

    I'm reading the second Southern Vampires at the moment. I'm enjoying it a lot more than the first. It's a lot more adult too haha. Somehow vampire sex just doesn't do it for me though

    Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett.

    As good as Pratchett usually is up in Lancre.
    I can't help but feel that whatever social commentary or satire he may be delivering is lost on me though. Well, the critics seems to see things I don't. I'm just htere for the jokes and the story.

    C'mon Dixie, it isn't a particularly difficult or long book to read for a laugh. Did it bore you?
