(1) Standing and swaying in the Kiev, Ukraine, metro, riveted by the sheer grandeur of the language in the Pelennor Fields chapter.

(2) Reading FotR aloud to three brothers, two cousins, and their friend (all male), all of us in authentic American Civil War garb, sitting on the top of a hill in a stiff March breeze with the camps spread out below us.

(3) Reading all of the LotR aloud to my father this summer, during our 35 minute (each way) drive to work.

(4) Skimming the Silm for riddle material during geology lecture - two weeks ago.

(5) Finishing FotR for the first time at my brother's Little League game. (That's when I first discovered that the LotR is one story, not three related stories.)

I know there's more, but I'm so used to having a book with me anywhere and everywhere I go that I can't separate the occasions. Fun topic!
