It's been more than a while....

....but after reading the newsletter from DW, I thought it would be a good idea to come back. ^_^ 

Anything you want to know about me?

P.S. I never joined the Tolkien Society mentioned in the last post by-the-by. ;D

So, what do you like to read? (other than Tolkien, obviously)

[frostingpink]

Well, I like to read classics mostly. For some reason, I can't manage Pride & Prejudice past chapter two, but can read Lady Susan with delight. I used to be really big into fantasy, but I'm finding that I drifting to books sort of like Pearl S. Buck's works; sadly, the only book by her I have is a biography from the thrift store. Ha! I do have some Amy Tan and Lisa See stuff, though.

What do you like?

[globetrotter1]

I'm different in that respect. I have read and reread Pride & Prejudice, but only managed to read Lady Susan once. I also need to watch the movie it was based on (Love and Friendship). Other than that, I like classics, a good old murder mystery (I have met Ian Rankin three times and no I was not stalking him hehehe), nonfiction, literary fiction, fluff, Terry Pratchett (sigh), Neil Gaiman, Bill Bryson, to name a few. Books rock!

I couldn't get into Terry Pratchett, but oddly enough, I really like Douglas Adams. I just about had a fit when I bought his five-book 'trilogy' for a dollar. Ha!

I too want to see that movie. I don't even know if it's out yet. (I really don't pay much attention to TV)

[globetrotter1]

The movie came out in 2016. No idea when it will air on TV, though.

Oh! Also love Douglas Adams. He died way too young. :(

You have 'playing instruments' listed as an interest. What do you play?

[frostingpink]

I have been mentally down for a good while, so naturally, haven't felt motivated much to play. I can play the piano, trumpet, Native American flute and ocarina I can play pretty good, and I'm teaching myself ukulele and tin whistle. :)

Do you play anything?

[frostingpink]

Didn't he, though? :( Have you watch Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie? Also, do you like Monty Python any? I haven't seen much of the show, but I love the 'Holy Grail' movie.

[globetrotter1]

Yes to both! Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent. Fun stuff. :)

Love Monty Python! Have seen bits and pieces of the show, as well as 'Holy Grail', 'The Meaning of Life' and 'The Life of Brian'.
