Reading The Hobbit again. I have read it at least 2 times so far that I can remember but it's been over 6 years at least since I last read it.I'm enjoying it a lot again and can't wait to get into the LOTR trilogy after this. The Hobbit also has me excited for the upcoming trilogy based off it .

There's an audio book for Arnie's book? Cool, it'd be cooler if it were done in his voice! I'm currently on page 190, it's so cool and rather inspiring reading his rise to fame in body building.

It starts out with Arnie reading the first chapter and then somebody else takes over.I'll post it on here if i ever see it again.

Bought two books off amazon "Tapped Out" and "American Shaolin", both by author Mathew Polly.
American Shaolin tells of his experience living with the Shaolin Monks for two years. Tapped Out (his second book) tells the story of him becoming an MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) fighter after more than 15 years of letting himself go and his weight ballooning to 250 pounds.
Both are well written due to immense detail put into researching both topics.There's also footage for both books .
There's also more footage of the different monks who are talked about in American Shaolin.
This his first and only MMA fight for which he trained for two years to achieve.
*spoilers*
He wins against a much younger opponent and sends the guy to the hospital.Luckily it was just to run a few more test but he was okay and only done as a precaution.

Finished Game of Thrones
I prefer the TV series to the book. After a while it was hard to get through Sansa and Dany chapters them two really annoyed me.
Right now I'm close to finishing The Wind Through the Keyhole book 4.5 in the Dark Tower series. Starts off like Wizard and Glass where Roland tells a story of him in his youth but after 1/3 of the book Roland's youth self tells a story which the book gets its name from The Wind Through the Keyhole.

I dunno, is it just me or are most of the film/TV-adaptations of medieval-fantasy literature superior to the actual novel(s)? I mean, when I first saw "The Lord of the Rings (Part 1)" in theater, I was not overly impressed - as I have never been a fantasy-enthusiast - but I was still like "Well, an OK film". When I read the book, however, I fell asleep (really!!!)... Your thoughts??
