Re-Reading with the Discussion Project
Don't know about anyone else, but I'm going to make the effort to re-read 'The Lord of the Rings' along with our Discussion Project. It's a nice easy pace, so I think I can work it in along with everything else and even other readings (what does it come to - just about 12-15 pages per week?).
In fact, I've been wanting to do a re-read with highlighters in hand for some time. I'd like to highlight a certain color all the 'wise sayings' of Gandalf, Elrond, Aragorn... and others, which can carry over into 'real life'. Then I might use other colors to pick up certain other things (one for forshadowing, one for historical information, etc.). Several years ago, I had sort of set myself to re-read the books about every 5-7 years. It turned out I was already in a re-read when I heard about the movies in 1999, so I finished that one and then did another complete re-read in 2001, before seeing FotR to get it all fresh in mind. For the last two installments, I just re-read those particular segments (TT and RotK). So... anybody else with me? I thought it might help make our discussion much more informed and intelligent (at least on my end... I get rather forgetful these days! )
