ahhh... the Lord of the Rings

I'll never get enough of J R R Tolkien's epic tome.  Never.  I just listened to the books whilst enjoying my 2 hour daily commute and was amazed.  Read by Rob Inglis I was once again taken to the magical place that is Middle Earth.  I read the trilogy every couple of years, but this was the first time for me to listen to it.  AMAZEBALLS! I loved it.  So many songs put to tune... so many memories that filled my head.  Happy!

My Dad first read these books to me when I was 8 years old.  My Grandfather was dying of cancer and Daddy read them, to the two of us.  I will forever remember them both with each experience with the Lord of the Rings trilogy and other works of J R R Tolkien.  What an amazing bonding experience to have with your Dad and Granddad  -  especially after they have shuffled off this mortal coil.

OK - current audio books - a re-visitation to the wonderful world of Hogwarts.  On Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets now.  J. K. Rowling is another AMAZING fantasy author.   Exciting!!  :)  Reading - the new J. A. Jance; Fatal Error.
