Well, that said, I haven't really read that much this week, even though it was exam week...weird, I know. So, after getting through another chapter of TTT, I am deciding whether or not to skip Book IV and come back later. See, for some odd reason, instead of being lovable and funny, the hobbits are exceedingly dull. I spent an entire chapter listening to them drone on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on... well, you get my point. But still, I don't know if I'll be able to get through an entire BOOK of nothing but blasted HOBBITS. I mean, there's Smeagol/Gollum, which may make for a bit of interesting reading, and apparenlty the order of events in the book is very different from the movie...well, I think I'll just wait and see.
For Romeo and Juliet, I think it might be nice to shake things up a bit. Maybe it will be annoying. I know not the effect that the story will have on my patience. Let us hope for the better.
And that proluge has some really, really, really long phrases.
This week's quotes are from a variety of sources. The first one is from The Return of the King, by Gimli (a good source of comic relief):
"Certainty of death? Small chance of success? What are we waiting for?!"
And then I laugh.
Later in the movie, we come across the diversion in question.
GIMLI: "I never thought I'd die fighting side-by-side with an elf,"
LEGOLAS: "How about side-by-side with a friend?"
And then I smile and start to get teary-eyed like I do when I hear this next quote in TITANIC, when Rose is on a lifeboat and looking up at Jack, who is leaning over the railing with an ADORABLE look on his face.
CAL: You're a good liar
JACK: Almost as good as you.
(CAL snorts)
JACK: There...There's no arrangement, is there...
And then I actually start crying if my parents aren't in the room.
