On a more personal note, when stories split like this, do you have a favoured strand, and read a little impatiently through the others, until you return to the strand you have the most interest in? This question probably only applies to your first reading.

I'm sure people do have their own "thread" they tend to like more, as the book splits. From the Movie's I preferred Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas stories over the others, and now that I've seen the movie so many times, sometimes I fastforward through the parts that don't intrigue me as much. With the book, I've read it in whole a few times, but I will skip around to certain chapters that interest me, or where I need to try to find some answers . If there's a favorite thread for me to find in the book to follow, over the others, it would be Frodo and Sam. There interactions with Faramir were done much better, and of course we get Shelob. I will say though, I love all the seperate threads once the book breaks.
