No better time to read Tolkien than when the Shadow is ascendant
I‘m at dinner with my husband and his friend. While they watch football, I‘ll read my book! And eat a piece of cake! #hyggehourreadathon
I finished my audio reread a few days ago, but this morning I revisited the postscript to more closely consider Garth‘s discussion of the way writers wrote about WWI and specifically its influence on Tolkien‘s work.
This quote emphasizes one of the key aspects of Tolkien‘s work that I love. Many of his characters are simple people who just keep going and make a difference in their own small ways.

I found this quote from Verlyn Flieger enlightening as it makes such an interesting comparison between a return from war and a return from Faerie.

After watching Rings of Power, I had to go back to the source.
Fellow Tolkien Readers,
How are we doing on the readalong? I apologize that life has gotten in the way again, so I‘m a bit behind as well as not sharing much. I just finished chapter 6 today, ending with Tolkien going off to war and wondering if he will ever see Edith again.

I‘m very late posting my goals for @TheAromaofBooks #birthdaybashreadathon and late wishing her a happy birthday. I won‘t possibly read all of this before tomorrow but I‘m making progress on all.

Loved the narrative way in which Garth I troduces this group of young men.
I already care abou them.
