Hurray for Hobbit! ie I'm in!
It would be a good thing for me to reread it from cover to cover. Haven't done that in a long time! I like the idea of new threads. Partially because I don't want to read through the old ones. On the other hand, it would be an incentive for me to read them... Disregarding that, though, it's a question of whether you want repetition on different threads or on the same thread. And on a new one, you can actually be part of the discussion as it happens... In other words, I'm good either way.

I've posted the introduction to the final chapter of the Unfinished Tales. As always, the threads remain open, so if you want to post later, you are free to do so.
I would like to begin with the new Hobbit discussions on the first weekend in May.

For those anxiously awaiting the next thread of the Hobbit discussion: I'm currently away from home and my bookshelf. There will be a delay of approximately three days, then the next chapter will be up. Thanks for your patience!

The summer slump has hit our Hobbit discussions - I'm going to space them a bit so as to give latecomers a chance to catch up and join in. For the next month or two, new threads will be posted every fortnight. (Chapter 8 will begin next week.) See you there!

Sorry, folks - real life temporarily took on an insane tempo and I had to delay the next chapter of discussion. I will post the new thread within a day or two, then there will probably be another delay while I am in England for Britmoot and Return of the Ring. To be continued...

The announced break during my absence to Britmoot and RotR is over - the next chapter discussion thread is up! Are you still with me?

The break during the past weeks was due to another absence - my last for this year. The discussions are now resumed at the rate of one chapter a week so that we finish by the time the movie is released.
If you haven't joined the reading and discussion yet, I welcome you to do so and catch up gradually!
