If there is, then I'm in the Lockholes. I'm still playing catch-up.

I read the chapter and take notes as I go.

Then I write that up and post it **without looking at the thread.** Then I read the thread. I've found this to be very useful to me personally, as it keeps my own observations fresh, and enables a clear comparison/contrast with how others responded to their reading. Not sure if it drives everyone else crazy! But since I'm most often posting at the end of the thread anyway, I don't worry about it.

Since I have so many copies of the trilogy, I selected one of the common Del-Rey movie-editions-- and I am actually MARKING in it. But... it will actually make that copy more meaningful to me... remembering what I found interesting at the time. I oughta date it and put a description of the CBC project in the beginning.

I think this is either my twelfth reading or (probably) thirteenth. Not sure. And Lyta, I think I've read Pelennor fields about fifty times... back when I was Eomer-crazed, twenty-five years ago.
