How can I remember most of LOTR? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'll echo the phrase to keep rereading it. Also, if you want to remember minutae, such as songs or poems, make it a point to memorise them or make little tunes to them. Perhaps that sounds a bit obsessive, but it's actually great fun. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Your best bet would be to read the LotR repeatedly and take notice of little things, perhaps underlining or writing little notes in the margin about recurring themes or connections with other passages. If you really work with the story, you'll find that you will remember it more readily. Good luck!
Peace
