Pages: 118 Book: The Return of the King (52 pages); The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: and Other Clinical Tales (66 pages)
Officially done with TLoTR trilogy, and all the appendices and everything. It was truly a good series, and my earlier misgivings were unfounded. If, for some reason, you've failed to read it yet, I highly recommend it.
So, I started The Long Title Book today, too. It's actually nonfiction, but it's really interesting nonfiction. It's about neurology, all these strange cases that the author has come across. Like a man who lost the ability (at least this is what I got out of it) to make concrete judgements about what things are, based on sight alone. Smells he could identify, but given a glove one of the possibilities that he came up with was a coin purse for holding five different sizes of coins. Anyway, it's all very interesting. I finished up to chapter five "Hands".

There really are a bunch of weird stories in this book. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to understand, but so far it's been a fairly good book. Very interesting, in any case. I'll be starting Part Four: The World of the Simple tomorrow, and will probably finish the entire book, too.

Pages: 87 Book: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat: and Other Clinical Tales (57 pages); The Genius Files #2 (30 pages)
Finished The Long Title Book. It was good. See above post for more details.
The Genius Files #2 is just a book I started reading during my break at the library. My mom won't let me check any more books out, since I need to get other things done, so I might start falling behind. Maybe.

Pages: 103 Book: How Oliver Olsen Changed the World
Oops! I'm starting to fall behind. I'm just so busy with everything right now. =/
This was, however, a pretty good book. It's aimed at probably about the age of third graders, so it was short and pretty easy, but I still enjoyed it well enough.
