After getting the e-mail notice that someone else has posted here, (Thanks Isowen.), I realized I had never come back and announced:
I have finished The Lord of the Rings!!!!
I has reading the last few pages at a fast food place with my dad. I was about to cry when I finished it, but I was in a fairly public place, and with my dad. I excused myself to the restroom and cried a bit there. But after finishing the actual story, I launched right in to the appendices, with all its stories about the Númenoreans (making me want to actually read Sil) and Gondor and Arnor and Rohan and the Dwarves and the naming of Hobbits.... That got my mind off of the end of RotK.
Now if only I didn't have to read "Crime and Punishment" in a week before school starts again, I would start on Sil. yee! lots of Elves! and Fëanor, grrrr. I've heard it reads like a history, but I'm so enamored with M-E, I don't think I'll mind.
