My mistake.... In the massive tome called Lord of the Rings that I own, I read the first copule of hundred pages referred to as Book One in preparation for the movie. I wanted to reread the book before I saw the movie since it has been many years. Alas, I was wrong. As you said they covered book one and book two in the movie.....hence my error. :( So now I guess I'll wait till next year and reread book 2,3, and 4 before the Two Towers comes out. ;) On 04 Jan 2002 14:05:51 -0700 Blake Barnett wrote: > If you want to get nitpicky, then there really is only 1 book.
