I had originally planned to participate in the Reading Day in Hannover. Alas, a nasssty cold took me out of things the past few days. However, a friend who was actively involved called to tell me about it. The local smial had fun reading various passages from different stories, the bookstore sold several Tolkien books, and even people who didn't actually sit down and stay, hung around the fringes to listen. Sounds like a success to me!
I agree, Bb - cooperating with bookstores to do the readings is an excellent idea. Everyone benefits from it. And yes, the German Tolkien Society is definitely active!
