I was so thrilled to be reading the Fellowship the first time that the beginning flew by with much excitement. I loved it. It terrified me. I had nightmares about screaming black riders for months. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Of course, I also had nightmares about giant spiders eating me after the Hobbit, so I suppose I was just a bit of a nightmare prone child. Anyway, I love it all, and I think I'm going to start reading it again after I finish this post.

P.S. I hope this sudden burst of enthusiasm will allow me to finish this time (my last two attempts ended in failure shortly after entrance into the Old Forest.

P.P.S. Another good booster is reading a Tolkien autobiography. I would reccomend Humphrey Carpenter's I'm just finishing it now...
