Has everyone given up on this? Three posts on the current chapter so far is a bit sad!
Do people find book four itself boring, or have people just given up on the project? I remember when this project began our esteemed Esty also started a HoME read along thread which managed to run for about half a dozen chapters before fizzling out. Will the main project go the same way, or are people just waiting for book five, when things get 'interesting' again, with the big battles & high adventure?

Did you really expect for people to continually post in the book discussion? As the discussion moves on, it looses the novelty aspect of it and becomes routine, people get bored and tired. It is as simple as that.
I was involved in a similar book discussion in another forum and the same thing happened.

Is there enough interest in the project to sustain us to the end of the Road? Or will we fall before the end. Speaking personally I'm going to carry on with it, even if I'm the only one posting & nobody reads what I post! I've learned a great deal over the months - from other posters &, if it doesn't sound too smug, from my own personal discoveries & the connections I've made. I've probably paid more attention to the text in this reading than in any of my previous readings & my appreciation of Tolkien & his work has increased immensely as a result.

Good for you.
