ToRmEnToR: You stopped on the last book of Lord of the Rings? That is when things get interesting. :)
heh, well, i started reading lord of the rings only after i saw the first movie (read the hobbit before though) , so the first book was 60% predictable, the secound book was kinda boring, i even remember a part well placed by the writer (its near the end of the secound book); when frodo and sam are walking through that secret pass, almost past the mountains around mordor, when frodo says something like (or maybe he thought it, i dont realy remember) "how will i persuade readers not to drop reading the book when they get to this part of the advanture?" (frodo said that about his future book that will tell all about his journies).
heh, that was very well placed.... somehow, you forced myself to keep on reading till the end of the secound book, but i almost threw the third out the window when it started with some regular boring stuff. so there i am, not reading the final and probably most intresting part of the novel :\ maybe some day i'll gather enough will to read it till the end...
ODDin: i've asked my parents about "Doomed city" , i dont have it at home. my mother didnt read it, but my father did. he said that he actually thinks that "Rodeside picnic" is actually better, he says that "Doomed city" has even less action and is more about life and stuff than rodeside picninc.
but hey, different strokes for different folks, i actually like all of those novels about life and stuff...
anyways, my perants recommended "Its hard to be god" (troodna buet bogam), we have it at home in russian, so i'm starting to read that now.
time to practice my russian reading skillz...
