I splurged on 6 Rob Munsch books yesterday. English books in HK are always overpriced. I went to Page One at Festival Walk. And it annoyed me sooooooo much that almost all their books were shrinkwrapped. Which makes me miss Chapters even more. I was stupid, and didn't bring my kiddy books to HK, left it all at my aunt's place in TO. Although I don't think I could have lifted the suitcase at that point. I should petition to Chapters to open a store here;)

Finally finished The Silmarillion. Slow read at the beginning. Get's interesting when names I know start popping up (Elrond, Luthien, Galadriel, Gandalf, etc.) This book was pretty much how the "world" was created (lots of parallels to the biblical creation), and the early history of Valinor and Middle Earth. Interesting to read about the first dark lord (before Sauron). Not bad at all. It's Tolkien, what do you expect?;)
