Re-Reading Books

Recently I've been re-reading books that I have read before. The main reason is that I haven't made it to the book store in awhile to pick up a new book to read. So I've recently read J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and John Steakley's Vampire$.

From this I've learned something odd about my mind, and that it is secretly a pessimist. It has been many years since I read Fahrenheit 451, and my memory had it ending on a much more dismal note than the book actually ended on. A similar thing happened in Vampire$, my mind had killed off a lot more characters in the end than had actually died. On the other hand The Hobbit didn't have any odd twists that my memory had re-wrote, but it was good to read Tolkien's lighter and happier work.

Now something odd these books all have in common is that they have been made into movies. I've never seen the one for Fahrenheit 451, but I have seen the other two and there is a new Hobbit movie coming out in a few years. I do not recommend watching the movie Vampires in any shape or form, as the only thing it shares with the book is some character names, and not many of those.

I really need to visit the book store.
