Wed 10/18/2006 8:48a | Alex have you read World War Z by Max Brooks. I'm slowly making my way through it, but it's pretty good. Though I do wish these zombie outbreak stories didn't always fall back on the it's the fault of the government/big business storylines. |

Wed 10/18/2006 9:14a | ^^--Haven't seen that one. I sort of glanced through his last one but it didn't grab me. He really seems to have a thing for zombies, doesn't he? |

Wed 10/18/2006 10:46a | As suggested here on LP (was it Pixie Glitter? Apologies if it was someone else.), I am reading The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love by Jill Conner Browne.
Funny read. |

Wed 10/18/2006 11:47a | Now that I have finished the North and South Trilogy I amyet again trying to read The Lord of the Rings this is the third try and I am hopeful that I will stick with it this time round. |

Wed 10/18/2006 2:38p | Sarah,
I sugest skipping the poetry, songs and prose first (maybe even second) time through the trilogy. They don't add that much to the story and can be a bit of a chore.
I found the books to be a little bit of work the first couple of times, but now I really enjoy them when I pick them up.
You may also want to start with The Hobbit. It's a MUCH easier read and it gets you an intro into the world of Middle Earth and a litte Baggins background. |

Thu 10/19/2006 12:54a | Thanks Deb I did manage the Hobbit a couple of years ago but I think every time I try to read LOTR I get pregnent and loose my brain (I doubt very much that will happen this time) |
