SPOILERS

I just finished reading the whole thing. I hadn't read The Silmarillion, so the ending took me by surprise...it was very tragic and bitter, about as far away from Mr Bilbo's happy quest as you can get. I'm actually feeling sad...this is probably the first time a book has moved me this much. The power of Tolkien...

Now I just need to go off and cry somewhere
