We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back To The Future Trilogy by Caseen Gaines That sounds like it could be fun. Let me know how it is. |

We Don't Need Roads: The Making of the Back To The Future Trilogy by Caseen Gaines That sounds like it could be fun. Let me know how it is. I'm almost finished, and it's been a very interesting/entertaining read. Definitely one I'd recommend if you're a fan of the franchise. It covers some stuff, like how Eric Stoltz was initially cast as Marty but then got fired for not being funny enough, I already knew. But there's lots of other facts/behind-the-scenes details on all three movies that were new to me. There's even a whole chapter devoted to how much of an oddball Crispin Glover was on the set of the first, which is worth the read alone.
Check it out for sure.

Tolkien's Unfinished Tales
I have indeed, many many moons ago. It's fantastic and contains the precursors to The Fall of Gondolin and The Children of Hurin. I remember loving the tale of Aldarion and Erendis, too. I really need to re-read all my Tolkien books, it's been a while. Let me know what you think! |

I really liked Tuor's story. I just started Turin's, and even though I've read this story in other places, I'm really sinking into this one.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera One of my absolute favorites. Einmal est keinmal. Starting the wormwood trilogy. Have already really enjoyed what I've read of rosewater. |

Been meaning to read it for a long time so I'm looking forward to getting into it.
This quarantine has definitely afforded me the ability to catch up on a lot of books and movies.

Lord of the Rings for the 5th time. I just finished reading through the books again, but I'm not sure how many times now. I read them during reading time at school, so it took me a long time but thats fine. Still my all-time favourite book; I dont care how cliche it is. |
