What swanky things are you reading?

Carly- I think he has ADHD- not kidding! He is very intense, but honest. I like the book, but he over uses big words, etc. (He admits to intellectual insecurity). He is a little too honest in some areas, and I'll bet that it has caused some conflict since the books publication. It is a fairly decent read, if only for the LOTR's background stuff. His mom lives up here, so it's interesting when he refers to Spokane- I'm not used to seeing stuff about our town in books, excepting the odd serial killer tome. (We are a breeding ground for sicko's here).

Thanks ~ that's what I've been hearing/reading. I think I'm going to read it anyway - I'm interested in some of the background to the filming, etc, and it looks like a good, light read. I didn't know his Mum lived up there - cool!
