Though I too am looking forward to the
Hobbit re-discussion, I have two reasons for taking on
UT first.
1. There is a long-standing request for a
UT discussion, and we haven't gone through this book chapter-by-chapter so far.
2. I would like to have the
Hobbit CbC closer to the movie release next year, so that we book fans are well-prepared for comparitive discussions when it comes out.
To those who are waiting for the
Hobbit reread, please be patient! We will definitely do it, probably beginning in the spring of 2012.
To those who decide to join me in (re-)reading the
Unfinished Tales, I look forward to re-discovering them with you!

TM, who already explained my reasons more succinctly!
