New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, |

Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Yeah, but I can pat my head and rub my stomach at the same time, so there.
Oooh that takes practice.
need a lot of breading and oil for that one
I don't want to admit to having done that.
Good evening!
Good evening. I hope you are having a blessed day what is left of it. I read The Hobbit and am almost halfway through Fellowship of the Ring and now I understand where all the thread titles come from ;o)
Ah - did you recognize some of the lines?
We started out just using nice 'sound bite' lines from the books, in willy nilly order according to mood.
The last several now, I've been going line by line through the poem at the top of the thread. It ends with the part of the verse Pippin sang in RoTK.
SO how do you like the books? Any comments/observations/questions/reviews?
I love them. I'm just reading it through all this week and weekend then next week, I'm going to read in depth.
I forgot to add that I love the bath song *LOL*
That's a good strategy, there's so much detail, that to try to really study it on the first time through would bog you down. There's enough information to read it at a pleasurable pace and still find something new in it a second, third, fourth, and fifth time through it.
I assume you've seen all the movies. Do you think that helps or hinders reading the books the first time?
fry'em up!
LOL!!!!
I've not seen the movies yet. I wanted to read the book through twice or three times before I watch the trilogy.
OH REALLY! very interesting!
So where are you in the books?
Yup. I found some homeschooling study guides for LOTR. I have it all figured out already, the whole allegory thing. Awesome set of books.
A third of the way through Fellowship of the Rings.
Where exactly, geographically? ;~D
LOL... I'm not that hardcore yet :o) But I've already picked out three names for my future children!
No - where, geographically, are you, in the story?
~chuckling~
