right now i’m reading number 4 on the list (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy)...

i guess i’m a very slow reader because i started this in January and i’m only at 4 now… i do need to say that number one and number three on the list consist of three books (Lord of the Rings and His Dark Matrials)... but still i feel that seven books are slow…

i’m really enjoying Hitchhiker’s… but it was funny from going from the lush, pretty style of writing of Pullman to Adams caiotic humor was a really hard transition…

but i’ll finish this book soon and start with the Harry Potter series

oooo today frodo and the gang slept a bit…

they were all a bit uneasy cause they were chilling inside the mountain where the dwarves built a huge underground warehouse for raving… but the orcs took over the party and… man… those are some bad ass orcs… they ummm…. say bad words… and smoke… but Frodo said “you orcs can ruin our party” and faced them off in a breakdancing challenge and then he killed them with his sword called Sting… and the orcs said… Sting is sooo lame… i rather be killed by Twisted Sister or Guns and Roses… dude…

ummm

sorry for anyone who loves LOTR

so i’m reading Lord of the Rings… and that’s the first book on the list… it’s taken me over a month to read this book…

they go over a hill… and into a bush and down a hill and meet some elves and eat some berries then they walk some distance… i thing dodo has a bad dream and bilbo eats a bad mushroom…

BIG ACTION SCENE!!!!!!

and then they climb a mountain…drink some soothies… climb a really big hill.. Gandolf gives the rest of the group a STD… and they climb over a rock…

why!!!! tell me why is this book so great… so much walking… i don’t know if i can endure another hill
