I DNFed Fellowship of the Ring

A second attempt of reading a classic this year and second classic I have quit. But maybe the only one I will consider coming back to at a later day. 

As you all know, dearest reader, fantasy is one of my go-to genres, but I have never read Lord of the Rings. I have seen the movies (I rewatched the original trilogy a Christmas or two back - though I have no interest in watching the Hobbit trilogy), but never read the books. To some of you guys, how can I call myself a fantasy reader without attempting to read the Godfather of modern fantasy?

Is It Me...?

Is it me or does the firey logo on the cover of DIVERGENT by Vernoica Roth look scaryingly like the eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings...?




I asked this on Twitter last night and the author of Divergent herself, Vernoica Roth, replied back saying "It is not just you. Many people say that to me. As a Giant Nerd, I enjoy the comparison."
