A few questions about a new reader - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Don't feel bad. I am in my first year of college and I found getting used to JRRT's writing style a bit challenging at first. Here are some tips:
1. DON'T Rush. Read at your own pace. The book isn't going anywhere.
2. Go One Chapter at a time. After you finish a chapter. Go over it again in your head, like your watching it. It helps you relate to it and remember what's happened.
3. Have fun! This isn't schoolwork, it's supposed to be enjoyable. Don't feel bad if it takes you weeks to read or a year. Just have fun exploring Tolken's world.

~I hope I was helpful. Good Luck and Happy Reading!
