As for reading, I'm in the moment and don't try to figure things out.

Actually I do that too. When I said earlier that I love to conjecture as to what the author is going to do next (in my orig. post) I meant when I have to be ripped away from the book. Then my consolation is to think about it as I'm working or eating or whatever. I also like to write stories myself, so my mind is in that "how to resolve the conflict?" mode a lot.
If I'd actually stopped to think about Dernhelm long enough I probably would have figured it out, but like I said, I was in a frenzy. I think I read book six in one sitting. Since I read the whole story in six days, I'll bet I did...but I don't remember much about what else I was doing at the time. I was in Mordor and Gondor and that was about it.
