Combination of contamination and pollution. Makes me kinda think through the words many many times, although it ain't that serious. Then i start to realise, what kinda image am i leaving behind for people. Despite that often said what others perceive of me does not really matters, but as a matter of fact it does, to everyone else too.
Anyway, I'm TOTALLY into this show. It's called "Legend of the Seeker". It's super nice and it applies to me like a need for me to watch it everyday, just like daily dosage of medication. But it seems like it's the typical Ang Moh show, 'cos it is only season 1.
SUPER COOL. It reminds me of my books, "Eragon" series. Something along that line? Fantasy, but lacking elves and dwarves. He would have lost to Eragon if they appear together. Eragon knows magic, you know. But THIS GUY IS SUPER FIT. In the first episode of season 1 he already flaunt his body. I desire, but I'm not working for it. Just lazy.
Then i go wik it out. Wikipedia is officially my best friend. I wiki at work, i wiki using Jocelyn's phone over lunch, I wiki about everything. Ok back to the main topic, I realised that it loosely follows the another series of books, called "The Sword of Truth" (Which is the sword he wields). But something that turns me off is, not only that the paperback cover is not very nice, but also that it contain 11 books in total.
11 BOOKS! I CAN READ FOR ALMOST A YEAR!
Let's recap:
Eragon: 3 books (completed; production still ongoing)
Genghis Khan: 3 books (completed; production still ongoing)
Emperor: 4 books (completed)
Troy: 3 books (haven't start to read)
So it is about all these books combined?! IT'S INSANE! However, I'm giving it series thoughts, 'cos the other series I'm considering is insane too. It's called the "Shannara" series, containing many small series. I wonder if i have to find book 1 in order to begin reading, or can i just jump-start into any sub-series or trilogy to begin with. Now I'm about lost. Why will I?
BECAUSE IT CONTAINS 22 BOOKS, 2 times the amount for "Sword of Truth".
Extract from Wikipedia:
"The rights to a movie adaptation for all of the Shannara novels have been sold to Warner Bros until 2010.[4] The Elfstones of Shannara, the first planned movie,[4] will be filmed and directed by Mike Newell,[5] who was also responsible for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.[6] The Elfstones of Shannara will probably be followed by an adaptation of The Sword of Shannara in 2010 or so.[4][7] Note that the sequence of the movies differ from the sequence of the books, although Terry Brooks believes that this is the best starting place for adapting the Shannara novels.[4]"It's gonna become a movie, so I think it won't be disappointing. I almost bought it instead of Troy series. I will only know if i made the right choice after reading Troy. But such books never fail me.
