Currently reading GONNA LAY DOWN MY BURDENS by Mary Monroe. Next week I'll be purchasing about three more books to keep me entertained before school gets too hectic.

I've just started to read The Hobbit but I can't seem to get into it. I haven't read Lord of The Rings but I absoluely love the movies and the story. I know I have to read The Hobbit before reading Lord of The Rings because it really sets up the story for LoTR. Maybe because it's starts off slowly. But I will finish it, even if it takes me forever.

Hey, thank you for the welcome. I feel all good and stuff.
The book was good (coulda used a bit less swearing, but hey) but I had previously read "In Love and War" -- which was written after this one, so I kinda knew the story's ultimate resolution. Still, "LDLHA's" crisis points held my interest throughout the book and made me wonder how they'd reach the resolution. Millner/Chiles have several books out including "What Brothers Think, What Sistahs Know" which was funny and somewhat insightful.
In both Love and War and Love Don't Live Here Anymore, it's always amazing to me how the sexes can go through the exact same situation and have completely different feellings on the matter.
I guess that's why this boy-girl thing works so well.
