In my youth I read 'The Hobbit' in one sitting whenever I had a spare day.
When I was an Eomer addict, I read and reread the battle of the Pelennor fields ... I dunno, maybe thirty times? A lot.
When I was a Boromir addict, I read all the stuff that he said or did, over and over.
Lately I find I can hardly pick the book up; it tears me apart too much. I can't go near the last few chapters. Pretty ironic since I have shelves full of the trilogy, and I can barely open the books.
When my life comes out of the pressure cooker for a bit, I may try again. I do miss Chapter by chapter.
