A Tolkien Effort

[gridlore]

An update on my latest attempt to read The Lord of the Rings.

This time, for whatever reason, I'm enjoying the book. It may be that having seen the movies allows me to at least know the major plot and some of the major checkpoints, but I'm having a much easier time with the writing style.

I really hope that somebody can explain what Tom Bombadil and the whole detour through the Old Forest did for the story.

I wish you'd been in the Hospitality suite with me this afternoon; we were discussing this very thing.

There were some rather weird bits in there. Personally, I think he was the sneaky bad guy.
