As I went through the messages in TPTS today, I saw several posts complaining about Arwen. Again. LOL. Actually, this is a topic that has been bandied about for quite some time. Personally, I don't like her expanded role in the movies either. I guess I just loved the books so much that the events in the books are exactly what I would like to see in the movies. I know Peter Jackson has been faithful to the books otherwise, but... oh, I don't know... Arwen just doesn't appeal to me much as a character (and then there's Liv Tyler!). I just hope Arwen's role doesn't overshadow Eowyn's. Eowyn is one of my favorite characters, and I really loved her role in the books. Miranda Otto looks very lovely and great for the part. I'm really excited about seeing The Two Towers! But first, there's Chamber of Secrets. Man, I really have to get Potter-acclimatized again....

Oh. Yeah. I have to resume reading The Silmarillion again too....

I'm staying out of the bookstores these days because while I was hunting down Book 1 of the Dragonlance War of Souls Trilogy, Dragons of a Fallen Sun by Weis and Hickman, I was not able to resist the lure of the shelves. Whenever I made a trip to the shop and I didn't find Fallen Sun, I ended up buying something else. The first time, it was The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, then there was The Once and Future King by T.H. White, then the latest was American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Needless to say, they are all still stuck in the "to read" stack (together with Fallen Sun! LOL!), because I'm still trying to get through the Dragonlance Fifth Age trilogy before starting with War of Souls. In terms of books, I think I'm all set until next year! Heheheh. :) I wonder if I can even finish all the books in the "to read" stack before the year ends....
