The Milemarkers We Keep

     As you have noticed, dear reader... I have made the original theme of my blog have a Lord of the Rings trend. You can see this in the title which is the true name of the book, 'The Hobbit'. The quote on the side is from the first book in the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy. My first post's video was that of one of my still favorite instrumental songs named 'Concerning Hobbits'. So as you can see I am pretty smitten with Lord of the Rings.
     Now why is it that I like Tolkiens works.... I don't know. As a junior Rotarian half-way around the world I think that I have a love for adventure and travel which can be seen as a trend in other Rotarian Ambassadors and also in Tolkiens works.I am just a south-jersey-ian (jersey-ite) and come from normal background, but when I had the opportunity to cross my own Brandy-Wine River (you have to read the first book to get it) I didn't pass the opportunity.
     So as homage to the theme of my blog and the life-theme of my Rotarian adventure, I will finish the Lord of the Rings series while I am away. I have finished 'The Fellowship of the Ring' this morning and I will keep on going until I finish 'Return of the King'. After this I will come back to 'There and Back Again... A Hobbits Tale' for a better pre-story of the the series. After this I will have to find somewhere to get a English copy of some of his other works, because though I do believe that I will be profficient by that time, these books are written in an older English which may be difficult in Italian. This kind of thing wouldn't usually take me a whole year, but when school starts I do not know how preoccupied I'll be with my studies, so this may be more difficult than you think. Anyway, just wanted to make known this little side-quest that's tied to my exchange year. Ciao

P.S. Be sure to look at new pictures and leave comments, I'm always curious to what you have to say.
