実は3週間の貸し出し期限で読みきれそうになかったので延長しようと思ってたのに、この本に他の人の予約が入っているので延長できず、ものすごく頑張って読み終えました。
ちなみに第3巻は他の人の予約が先に入っているので、私の番が来るのは来月ぐらいかなぁ。
I was still around 2/3 of the way a few days ago. But my 3-week borrowing time limit at the library was coming up and I could not renew it (because other people are waiting for this book) so I had to try really hard to read the rest in the last 3 days.
I put the third book, The Return of the King on hold but there are 2 more holds on the book so I may not get the book for another several weeks.
So, what's wrong with this situation? Well, so it is said that the Lord of the Rings series is one of the most widely read modern books, right? But my library only has one book each available. Just 1 book for the entire county. We have a million people in this county and there are only 1 book each for each of the trilogy book.
I put Overdressed on hold (the next book for Colette's book club) as well and there are 16 books available. 16! I don't understand my library.
While I was reading The Two Towers, I also watched the Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of the Fellowship of the Ring (for umpteenth time). We have a 4-DVD box set (and every time I watch, I watch all 4 DVDs, and sometimes watch the movie itself a few times so that I can watch all the different versions of commentaries). What is amazing about this movie is the detail that went into to create the world of Middle Earth.
The box set includes 2 DVDs of all special features. The special features are definitely as good as the movie itself. How I wish I could go to Weta Workshop and and see the props or see the workers design and create the props. I think Peter Jackson should make a museum to showcase all the props from conceptual art drawings to storyboard to masks and costumes and everything.
