It's great to talk to someone who also had trouble getting through LOTR at first, but actually tried again and loved it.

I got a few pages in and got bored. I have read <i>The Hobbit</i>, though; I enjoyed that one.<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of Shakespeare. I actually had to do <i>Hamlet</i> twice... once in high school, and then the next year in university! It's not my favourite. I do, however, really like <i>Much Ado About Nothing</i>. I read it just for fun the summer after my first year of university. I'd call it "Shakespeare for People Who Don't Like Shakespeare". It's actually a pretty fun play.La Coccinellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118313017081994087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009357269931443956.post-59265953156763740442014-09-30T19:28:58.207+01:002014-09-30T19:28:58.207+01:00I love your blog!

But I find it living on in the various fan fictions I've read. You've got a couple I need to add to my to read list (Love of a Lifetime is one).<br /><br />Here's my list if you want to stop by. <br />http://dawnsdreams.blogspot.com/2014/09/top-ten-books-that-were-hard-for-me-to.htmlDawn Janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08564326324567557173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009357269931443956.post-24002805315371330662014-09-30T17:25:39.635+01:002014-09-30T17:25:39.635+01:00Oh man, you're not alone with some of these.

I just didn't want it to end, I didn't want to accept there weren't going to be any more. <br />The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was a huge part of my high school experience, so you can imagine my excitement at a fifth book. But it was actually a huge letdown for me, and I just couldn't enjoy it as much as I had wanted to.<br />And The Lord of the Rings was a struggle for me, too. But three months and three books later, I found I loved the series a lot and that I was proud at finishing it - which is more than a lot of people can say! I definitely encourage you to try again!Lauren @ Books, Tea & Mehttp://booksteame.com/2014/09/30/top-10-books-that-were-hard-for-me-to-read/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009357269931443956.post-90124324630952616652014-09-30T15:49:26.056+01:002014-09-30T15:49:26.056+01:00Hamlet has been the hardest of Shakespeare's p...Hamlet has been the hardest of Shakespeare's plays for me to get through so far.
