Yes, yes, I know, we're only on day 2 of the Tolkien Revival... but I thought this would be nice to have a place for the members to report on their progress in reading the books, encourage those who are behind, and tell funny stories about your reading. My report: I'll confess. I started in late May. ![]() ![]() But in the middle of A Long Expected Party, I finally got up enough courage to say NO! ![]() So, I finally finished that chapter in bed last night. Oh, ecstasy! ![]() ![]() So, there's my report. ![]() |

The last time I read FotR was a good two years ago. Bad fan bad fan *hits self on head...* anyways this whole A-U Tolkien Revival got me truly thinking how I have forgotten what LotR truly means and picked up the book last night to begin reading *cheers* I started at ohh... 12am so practically today and finished the first chapter in an hour, I was tired sue me. As Arsa said I had forgotten alot that happened with preparing for the party and the chatter of the hobbits like the Gaffer and Sandyman.... |

I started reading the night before the revival officially started, so I could get a head start on discussion questions and such. I planned on reading only the first chapter or two, but read through 3 1/2 ![]() |

Haha...I think I just finished FotR for the eighth time three months ago. Call me crazy. It's all still pretty fresh in my mind! I did really like how Bilbo had all these presents and inside jokes for his aquaintences. It was sweet. Particularly the Sackville-Bagginses! |

I just picked up my copy of FotR, and found that the last time I read it, I got to book 2 and stopped. So I think I will begin again, to go along with the revival. |

I was just rereading FotR to find a quick answer to the Treasure Hunt question. I found the answer towards the end of the first chapter, but I kept reading, because I just couldn't put it down. I finally made myself stop at Chapter 3. Then I thought, hey why not join a book club, I mean I've already started rereading, why not keep going. ![]() |

I started yesterday. This is only the third time I read the books (last time was a year ago) and the first time I read them in English. My parents bought a copy illustrated by Alan Lee. If anyone is interested: I can scan the picures and post them here. Meldawen wrote: I did really like how Bilbo had all these presents and inside jokes for his aquaintences. It was sweet.

I really liked that part. It's funny and sweet. |

Oh Cuilwen, I'd love to see some of the pictures! Alan Lee has always done beautiful works of art! |

I'm doing a chapter a day, cause I'll be gone a week in June and won't be able to read then. I read the chapter in the Old Forest today. |

Excellent, excellent! ![]() ![]() I'm about a half chapter ahead of my schedule... I had intended to read "Fog on the Barrow-downs" tomorrow, but I forgot all about that and started reading, only to realize what I'd done just when it got to the scary part. ![]() ![]() |
