The Return of The Return of the King

"You WILL suffer me!"
Today, alas, I am fatigued, so I wont be writing much; and that, I'll be writing about reading, which is not technically in my job description.  Let's be honest, though: anyone who is/wants to be a good writer is always a nerdy reader first.

I have great news! Finally, after 7 years, I have moved on from the half-way point and have finished The Two Towers! I know, I can't really be a more horrible Catholic. Somehow I got lost as a teenager in the tangents that Good Ol' JRR takes.....perhaps that's why I put it down and let it get dusty....

Now I've cracked open The Return of the King, which I literally made my mother hide from me back in my sophomore year of high school so that I wouldn't read the end and find out if Frodo made it to Mordor to destroy the Ring or not. Well, I've watched the Peter Jackson movies about 1,395 times, so I do already know the end.

I'm still going to read it, so I can enter the realm of well-versed Catholics. Now all I have to do is catch up on Chesterton....
