Going to start reading the LOTR series again...

AlternativeRocker created this thread 8 months ago

I haven't read LOTR for a few years now! It's embarassing. I think I've read it twice before...hmm... I've been reading The Silmarillion on and off but it's very difficult, and that's saying something. Hmm... I've almost forgotten how good it is! That's a sure sign I need to read it again.

Love,

Arwen

The Road goes ever, ever on; Lord of the Rings will never end. Enjoy the Journey again.

I've read the trilogy so many times that I should have it memorized. I think it's time to read it again.

Don't feel too bad about the difficulty in reading The Silmarillion, Arwen. The parts concerning the earlier elves (Feanor, et al) and the Numenoreans and everyone else in the first and second ages were kind of confusing, but it all started to become clear during the third or fourth reading. I had most trouble with some of the Elvish names, because I couldn't remember who was who. Stick with it, tho--it'll click one day.

Picking up The Hobbit, with the mind that once you've read that, your then going to go straight on and read the Lord Of The Rings, it feels like you going on a journey all of your own and your part of it. Although reading those books to yourself is a deep moving personal experience, it's one we've all gone through and came out the other side, and shared on here...enjoy going there and back again Arwen.
