Last night I popped in FoTR and when bright-eyed little Frodo was riding with Gandalf in the cart in the Shire, I started to cry! Am I just hormonal and emotional, or is it pretty shocking to compare how dark he looks now compared to the beginning?

I also decided last night to start my re-read. Probably at Christmas. Because it has been a few months since we quit, I am going to start over with FoTR... shouldn't take too long to get up to TTT.

Should we start the book discussion around Jan 1? Should we start at the beginning again? - or pick up where we left off before?

I'm okay starting at TTT....but maybe we should see what everyone else thinks.

I'm just about done with the Fellowship portion of my re-re-re-re-read. The travelers just had to move their boats across land past the rapids of Anduin.

Here's a question. I just read a portion last night where the Fellowship is travelling down the river. Aragorn spots what he thinks is an eagle against the setting sun, far off in the distance, travelling southwards. Is this Gwaihir bearing Gandalf off of the mountain?
