Funny, I just started re-reading it two weeks ago. I'm almost done with FOTR. What a great book! (but you guys know that!)
I know this brings in the movies, but as I was re-reading, it was really interesting to see the lines that are in the movie, but given to a different character, or spoken at a different time. Is there a thread for that? I'd be interested in compiling that info just for fun. Could we make a small note in our posts in this thread when we hit a line that is in the movies, or should we just start another thread?

Rian, I think there might be a suitable thread in the movies forum, but if you can't find one, it would be fine to start one. That does sound fun. |

I looked a bit, but didn't see one, and I just came across another fun quote from the book tonight - I think it would be fun, too
*official sounding voice* We interrupt this thread for an important announcement - it is the civic duty of all Mooters, no matter how many times they've read LOTR, to start reading it again, in order to support this important civic project that will have a huge positive impact on global peace and the ozone layer! Citizens of Entmoot - do your duty! We now return you to your thread

Hey, I'm in!!!
A oppertunity to re-read the books instead of doing essays. But I don't know about highlighting the books.... I just don't think I can bring myself to deface Tolkien. I'll start to re-read tonight - hopefully s-l-o-w-ly, I normally read books quite quickly.

I'm in. I just reread them before the movies came out, but this will give me a good excuse to go over them again and pay attention to the details. And who better is there to discuss the books with than ouy guys.

Section 4 will be due on April 30, so if you're reading along, plan to have chapters 3 and 4 read by then. I plan to read chapter 3 this week, and chapter 4 the following week, to keep an even pace.

Argh! It's been hard to stay consistent with the start-and-stop reading! I'm only about half-way through chapter 3. So now I need to wrap up 3 & 4 (I have almost 30 pages to go) THEN get 5 and 6 by next weekend. Too bad I just seem to have something every night and can't get to it. *sigh*

Yes, I'm behind as well, but I'll get caught up this week. (We all had a stomach flu last week, then my son's third b'day and a baby shower for a friend over the weekend, doctor appt, swim lesson sign ups...WHEW! Now things are calm again, at least for a while.)
I haven't even started 3 yet, but I'll get them both read by the weekend, and will be able to post in the thread. Plus I need to post in the ch. 2 thread -- I have all my notes, I just never was able to get anything posted there. But I'm sure no one will mind revisiting it if they want to respond to anything I write about it. So here is where it stands: ideally, you'd have ch. 5 read by this Friday, and ch. 6 by the following Friday (May 14), when the chapters are due to be posted. But those of us who are behind can at least make it our goal to have them both read by then You know, it's not the reading. It's the note taking that makes it harder than it normally would be, at least in my case. I take too many notes, but there is just so much in there to make note of! |

 ) about LotR. Happy, happy! Had a chance to do some catch-up reading this weekend. Finished chapter 4, read all of 5 and have started into 6. Hope to have 6 done by the 20th - JD's target day to post 5 and 6!

I 'defaced' my copy of the LOTR by adding FÃ*riel as the daughter of Elanor and Fastred in Samwise's family tree. I think I got that from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and added it to the LOTR because it's not mentioned.
