Two movies, quite unrelated

While I was working on a speaker installation this afternoon, I got to watch a fair bit of The Quiet Man (1952), starring John Wayne. I liked what I saw, so it's a shame I only got to see the beginning. :)


After work and dinner, Jillian and Oscar biked over, and we went to Greater Union to see the 8:45pm showing of The Return of the King, which was really really good. Made me want to read the books again, though most you are aware how futile a notion this is for me. :)

The key to this futility is -me-, who's read 130 pages in the last 5 weeks, one book in the month prior, and, on average, less than one book per month for the preceding several years.

Book are good, and I would certainly enjoy re-reading, but a) I have over 200 unread books in my possession, and b) unless I reprioritize reading (not on my screen) by a great degree, I'll die at a ripe old age with my current set of books unfinished. :P
