After 23 years of procrastination, I have finally finished reading The Lord of the Rings.
Books
I just bought my first physical book in probably 15 years or more. I’ve been all digital since I can remember.
Bad Actors - ★★★★

Finished reading: Bad Actors by Mick Herron 📚 Probably Herron’s best installment of the Slow Horses series. This will make a great season if the Apple TV+ show makes it this far.
Excalibur - ★★★☆

Bernard Cornwell’s Excalibur portrays a realistic take on Arthurian legend, focusing on Derfel Cadarn as the main hero while depicting Arthur as a reluctant leader whose goal of realizing a peaceful life in a peaceful Britain is ultimately doomed.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - ★★★★

Andy Serkis is brilliant as he narrates Tolkien’s classic, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
The Hobbit - ★★★★
Tuesday, February 25, 2025 • 1
I highly recommend Andy Serkis’s incredible narration of The Hobbit and am eager to experience his reading of The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I’ve downloaded 99 books from my Kindle library before Amazon locks them down. Now, I need to figure out how to use Calibre. I’m assuming it’s fairly simple and straightforward.
Enemy of God - ★★★☆
Sunday, February 23, 2025 • 1
Bernard Cornwell’s Enemy of God is the more tightly constructed second installment of his Arthurian trilogy, featuring a more prominent Arthur while setting the stage for the concluding book.
