@Quilly No, I haven't read Divergent or seen he movie, but if I do I think I will probably read the book first Which one did you like better? I love the Boy in Striped Pajamas! I haven't read the whole book just the first few chapters but the movie was really good! It was a little sad, but since you haven't heard of it I won't give you any spoilers!

Re: What readest thou?
I only read the first book of Divergent. It was okay. I guess it wasn't exactly my style. And it didn't help that I did not like the main character, Tris, at all. But yes, the plot was interesting but how it was written out and portrayed just didn't get to me.
@cor: Awesome! I want to check that out, thanks!

I'm learning how to summarize a book for the literature class my dad is doing with me, so he's having me do a summary and a synopsis of LOTR. I don't mind too much.
I'm also reading the Silmarillion. It's...confusing, to say the least.

Just read Dauntless by Dina L. Sleiman. Highly recommended!

Hobbit, don't feel too intimidated by The Silmarillion. The first time I tried to read it, I gave up (I think it was due back at the library and I just took it back). The second time, I got through but was very confused. The index of names, family trees and other stuff at the back is really helpful, so make use of them as much as you can. Also the map; although it doesn't show Valinor or Angmar so for a long time that confused me. Also if you're confused that it doesn't look like the Middle Earth from Rings and the Hobbit, it's because it doesn't. The stuff in those stories happens mostly to the east and stuff happens that changes what the continent looks like.
The third time I read it it made a lot more sense and I got through it in record time. I could finally follow who most of the people where and what was going on. Now I read it in a couple days and its my favourite Tolkien work. That might not happen quite the same for you but what I'm saying is I'm glad I got through it and went back to it and didn't just throw it aside because it was confusing

Thank you for the set Happy!!

Re: What readest thou?
I tried to read the Silmarillion and failed miserably. (Although I hope to tackle it again eventually...)
I finally finished The Princess Bride and started on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
The Princess Bride was really good, although I would rather just watch the movie (something you will NEVER hear me say ever again) because it's more concise and has less plot holes.
