Oh why can't I fall in love with this book. My sister absolutely adores this piece of literature; it's won a Nobel Prize in Literature, and my daughter recommends it. It was a gift from my sister at Christmas - we have very similar tastes in reading...and why not...we grew up reading each other to sleep during the long and cold winters in North Dakota, tucked under our featherbed, cozy and secure as we drifted off with Grimbolds Other World or Mystery of the Green Cat...maybe a Mary Stewart book. Note: we never read aloud from The Lord Of The Rings as this was considered a private, sacred read...such a right of passage that it was something to be adventured upon by oneself...it was going to change forever the person who read it and we all new that. My Dad had been telling us stories from it for years by then. This is my second attempt at loving this story....and I still can't add it to my favorites. I want to love it....I should love it.....
