And I'm not going to tag anyone...
Wow! Very impressive list. I also play violin and piano. They're both awesome! How is "The Silmarillion"? I have heard from some that it is good, and from others that it is impenetrable. I think I'm going to find a copy to read this summer.
ReplyDeleteYah. They both are :)
DeleteIt's both. I have read it once right through, and that was about my fifth try over a period of seven years or so? (I got it out from the library each time). But once you've read and understood it once, you'll always be able to read it again. Two hints: make sure you're not tired when you read the start, and don't skip parts, or you'll end up totally confused.
Highly impressive, Jag! I'm amazed you came up with so many!
ReplyDeleteSo am I :P
DeleteWell, here's another tag. :P http://hyperlinkzer.blogspot.com/2013/05/tag-10i-think-maybe-9.html
