只有通过阅读,的故事才有历史背景来支撑。作为一
部文学作品可以独立成篇(尽管如果没有的流行，没有人会去读它)。
但是是建立在的基础上的，它的所有神话传说都从中而来。
一个很有力的例子就是弗洛多接受他的使命后，艾尔伦德对他说的话。每次我读这段话都
会被深深地感动:
"但是如果你自愿地去承担这个任务，我要说你作出的选择是正确的。即便今天那些过去
的精灵家族中最伟大的朋友都在座，包括哈达尔，胡霖，图霖，还有甚至贝伦自己，你都
可以跻身于他们中间。"
(之:艾尔伦德的会议)
如果没有读过, 这些名字不过是些空洞的声音而已。但是，天哪，如果你知
道他们的事迹和悲剧后，你会明白这些名字承载着多么重的份量！
这就是托尔肯的魔力：在一个巨大的历史场景里，只是简洁地引用一些材料。寥寥数字，
就盖涵了两个纪元的份量！
我鼓励读者们慢慢地读完:勇敢，坚持，完成这个任务。然后，当你重新阅
读的时候，你会惊喜地发现，以前你觉得生涩难懂的章节里包含着多么重要的意
思！但是与此同时你

saw a movie tonight "from hell". johny depp is in it. :) this should be
his 3rd one i've seen. it's interesting to see what movies an actor choose
to be in them.

same here when i picked up "atonement" in june and i thot it was just
delicately mediocre and couldn't finish it.
no tv, no serious novels for me this year.
after i am fed up with tolkien mania, i guess i'd just spend leisure time
daydreaming hehe.
i've also seen three johnny depp's movies so far, including once upon a time
in mexico. man wasn't he attractive. he seemed gently comic, always slightly
detached from his role, winking at the movie and the audience. then other
actors who played

and don juan demarco.
he's a little detached in chocolat but i was watching binoche then.
and don juan demarco is damn funny. watched it in dong-qu library. xixi.
thinking of checking out 'the brave' yeah i'm sick i know. :(
note, just realized depp is also in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. that's a fine
movie too worthy of checking out.
