I'm reading a book about the history of birth control. Its back home, I can't remember the name of it, and judging by the cover design I'd say it was written in the 70s. The shelter has a lousy library- misoginist magazines and Safeway mysteries. It stood out to say tjr least and is pretty neat.

Spoiler for LoTR:
Gandalf talks way too much in book one. An ungodly amount of dialogue.

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

I could never get past the Gandalf part. Been meaning to just watch the movies, as my attention span barely held on enough to finish The Old Man and the Sea within a year.

I see. For me, I like it when the book gives me that "curl up, this is gonna be good" feeling.

For more straightforward prose, I like Vonnegut.

Lotr definitely has a brilliant story, but the prose is really hard for me to sift through. I need something flowery or well written. Plus I don't need to know the lyrics of the songs that they sing when they visit a pub.
