Finished Master Slave Husband Wife. For a book where you know not everything can turn out great, it was quite the entertaining adventure. And now I need to read up on panoramas, another bit of 19th-century technology I've never heard of before.
I also read The Neverending Story, which has been on my "I need to read that sometime" list ever since I was a kid and my cousin told me that the movie only adapted part of the book. Which turns out to be true. In fact, the events loosely adapted by the movie are really just a prologue to the main story.
Now reading Daughter of the Bright Moon, which has a competent, well-written heroine but is definitely a book from another era in other ways.
Ooo! Was Neverending Story good, at least worth HALF its hype and the love and nostalgia that most, if not all, of us bookworms feel for it from our childhood?
I recently came across my late Father's last copy of The Fellowship of the Ring. I WANT to read it, but it's gonna be HARD... for multiple reasons... </3
