Bumping for stumbling across the new hole. Family evening reading now has Gollum leading Frodo and Sam away from the Morannon and in to Ithilien. Gollum's voice has proved to be a challenge. More than anything, the voice that's coming out of me in reading it reminds me of a demented Yoda. See you all later!

In my personal reading, Frodo and Sam have just left Henneth Annun with Gollum and are making the Journey to the Cross-roads.

In my reading to the boys, Smaug has just scorched Bilbo good, after he gave him the little burgler tweek! "Never laugh at live dragons!"

Hi WS! ;^)

I am at almost the exact same spot with my kids. We will be reading Book 4 Chapter 4 tonight (the name escapes me but I know Faramir is introduced in this chapter).

I know what you mean about voices. By the end of the last chapter I was wondering why Tolkien had to have Gollum talk so much. ;^) My throat was SORE after that.

ALL:
Here is a link I found where a chapter by chapter discussion took place, Reading Lord of the Rings: The Final Attempt.
