Movies and Books
Comments(2) Alright I’ve decided to post a little update on how I’ve been passing the time while at my dads. I’ll start with my three favorite rented movies. Here they are in the order I watched them (number = preference): The Three Burials of Melquiades Esrada (2), The Snow Walker (1), and 25th Hour c. I enjoyed all three of these movies a lot, and, had complete boreddom not been such a major factor, I probably would have never seen these movies. As for movies I’ve seen it theaters, here they are in order from first seen to last: Lady in the Water, Clerks 2, and The Descent. Again good movies.
Now an update from my earlier post on books, I’ve now finished Stephen King’s Dark Tower 1: The Gunslinger which I really didn’t care to much for. Are the other books in the series any better? I’ve also finished book 3 (The Dragon Reborn) and 4 (The Shadow Rising) of Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series. Unfortunately I don’t have book 5 of the series.
So, thats about it for books and movies this summer at my dad’s. I’m headed home on Thursday (8/10). I’m really looking forward to beging home for awhile since I’ve been away for about a month. Anyways, I’ll try to look for something interesting to post in the next few days, though honestly if you just browse the web you’ll probably find the same stuff as I do.

Hey stop reading the Wheel of Time and do yourself a favor and pick up George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire instead! Trust me, you’ll enjoy it a lot more. This is assuming you already haven’t done so.
WoT is apparently good up to only book 6 or so. Then even devoted fans started shamming the series. It’s at 9 or 10 now I think and doesn’t seem to have an end in sight.
I never got past the first Dark Tower book. But apparently the next books are quite good.
Cheers!
Heh, funny you should say that. I’ve been reading the series mainly because I found the first four books for cheap. I have no intention of reading the whole series unless for some reason I’m still interested after book five. (I did this with Terry Goodkind’s Sword of Truth series. Got part way through book six and stopped.) As for Martin’s books, they will be the next big series I read.
Thanks for the recommendation.
