The Two Towers

Up Yours - More Tolkien Goodies
I can't wait for the new LOTR movie to come out either. The first one was really good, capturing much of Tolkien's world the way I had imagined it, minus the depiction of some of the elves. I've read the series many times, enjoying it more and more each time. Tolkien's son has published a series of books about the books, which I'll pick up in the near future. They describe how Tolkien came up with his ideas and what happened in his life as he wrote. There are also a number of books that elaborate on side shoots from the main tale, such as The Tolkien Reader. I'm also eagerly awaiting the re-release of the Fellowship DVD due out in November, as it will have a lot of new footage.

The only thing I didn't agree with in Dawn's post was the comment about coming back as Diane Lane in the picture she linked. Personally, I'd like to come back as that guy (notice how I didn't make any puns with the word come; I'm so well behaved sometimes).

Oh, and by the way, this post is my first attempt at using the trackback functionality of Movable Type.
