Nice to know people are reading the discussions, and of course I'm happy that some of you plan to participate! I've been lagging with new chapters because I've been reading other Tolkien works for a paper I'm writing - sorry! I shall do my best to continue posting, but if I take too long, do feel free to go ahead and post on the next chapter thread, please!

Is the format going to be more like the CbC thread, where there is a thread a chapter, thread a week? Or will it be more informal and be one thread where everyone comes in and posts kind of at their own pace?

I know the latter is rather disorganized, and cluttered, but it might accomodate better for various reading paces. I would certainly love to do a re-read, and I had no clue that the CbC ended 2 years ago, boy does time fly

, but I already know as a fact that my re-read will be tediously slow.

Boromir, as I wrote in the first post of this thread, we are using the already existing CbC threads on the CbC sub-forum. More about the details of the new discussion there and in my following posts on this thread.

Boromir, I apologize, but I couldn't resist: do you remember what was in the signature you had before?

(a friendly joke, hope you don't mind

)

I posted on Chapter 5 today and will be taking a break from LotR for a week or two to give myself time for other projects. Anyone who wishes to may proceed; I will continue in due time.

Hi All,

It's good to see a re-run of the readthrough up and running. I didn't have the time available to contribute much last time round but circumstances have led me to re-read and I was just thinking of going back to post on the first readthrough when I noticed this thread. (he says not entirely comprehensibly!)

I noticed on starting my re-read that a number of oddments and obscure references start making more sense after a few years Barrow-Downing, so I plan to try some 'oddment highlighting' whenever I spot them.

All the best
