I will say though, there is some fun stuff in here...like mortars...and rocket launchers....

The Filthy Thirteen : from the Dustbowl to Hitler's eagle's nest - the 101st airborne's most legendary squad of combat paratroopers

It's amazing to read the stories of soldiers from WWII.

I finally started read The Fellowship of the Ring.

Nice. It takes a bit to get into, but once you're in, you'll be hooked!!!

I've read The Hobbit, so I kinda know what you mean.

Yeah. Most people I know have read The Hobbit, but almost all disliked it... I don't understand it. I loved that book!

Me too! Why oh why isn't there a movie yet? Peter Jackson?? Are you listening?

I was always sad when Smaug died, though. I kinda like Smaug. With the CGI we have today, he'd look amazing...

Yes, I can't wait for the movie!! Unfortunately, it won't come out until at least '11 or '12.

Oh, and Peter Jackson isn't making it. Guillermo del Toro is...

That could be good... if it doesn't get too morbid and creepifying.

Well, Peter Jackson is the executive producer or something like that, and he along with Fran Walsh have been working together with del Toro on the screenplay. So they have their hand in it, fortunately. Not that Guillermo del Toro isn't amazing -- it's just nice to know that the previous Lord of the Rings creators are at least a part of this.

As for Smaug... I'm pretty sure he'll be CGI, but del Toro plans on, as he said it, "doing for animatronics what Lord of the Rings did for CGI." So he's reworking the look of the goblins and some other stuff, and trying to use makeup and robotics for certain things. I'm glad to hear him say that he has no plans to change a thing about Gollum, though. "Why fix it if it's not broken?" he said. XD

But... yeah, I'm crazy excited for the movie. o_o

I'm reading The Cardinal of the Kremlin by Tom Clancy.

I remember that book.

I'm reading...American Psycho.

Shockingly graphic, politically incorrect, disturbing, depraved, bitingly satirical, and utterly amazing. A literary masterpiece.

So I picked up a few books at the library today:

The Nanny Diaries by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. Hey, I was surprised to find that I really liked the movie, so I'm hoping the book will be even better.

The Shack by William P. Young: I usually assume that a book that's worth all that controversy isn't worth reading, but I figured I'd pick this one up anyway, considering how much my sister has been bugging me to.

Gossamer by Lois Lowry, seems to be similar in thread to The Giver which was amazing. So far it's only okay, but I'm only a few short chapters in.

And finally Adam by Ted Dekker. So I haven't been able to get into any of his books that I've tried to recently (Saint, Skin) but I've never passed up the opportunity to at least check one out.

Just finished Tuck, by Lawhead. Good ending to a trilogy.
