Just finished 'Rome', marathoning the last 7 in the last day+. It was pretty evident that they knew they were cancelled, the timeline was so scrunched the last few eps, so many storylines wrapped up, and an awful lot of talking and emoting. While I appreciate the wrap-up, the show was much more enjoyable prior to the rush. It did get me to reading a bit about Roman history, which presently makes me think the Silmarillion was easy to follow. Maps and a timeline would be very helpful. But educational and entertaining nonetheless. And naked men. Many, many naked men. :D

Jul. 1st, 2008 01:19 pmI will 'fess up that most of these were read as requirements in school/college (although 'Dracula' was one of those!) and most of the non-read books were published after I left college and no longer had the time/requirement to read. An don't worry - #6 was also a school-required reading.
If you want to post this to your own LJ - bold means you've read it, italics means you've meant to, and underline means you love it.
