Books

I have just finished reading "The Children of Hurin" by J.R. Tolkein and finished by his grandson.The book is quite a tragedy-one family in Middle Earth that probally should have stayed home but as fate would have it,they all were part of a drama that humans and elves were pitted against Morgoth-predecessor to Sauron and an evil dragon that could cast spells-Glaurung.Quite the sad book.
The other book I just completed is one of historical fiction by Bernard Cornwell.
"Stonehenge" a fictious account of the famed site of stones mysteriously placed for pagan practices-very interesting.That took a awhile to read.
