LotR Reading Club - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Child, I heartily agree with what you have said. I do not often take part in discussions in the 'Books' forum. While I would love to do it I just don't have the time to read and study LotR (and other works of Tolkien) enough to get that deep. Most of it is over my head. This planned 'reading club' will provide the perfect opportunity to start out slow, as you have said, Child, sticking my toe in the water and wading deeper and deeper. Perhaps I'll get to the point where I can swim!

I was given the impression that the discussions were for all... for the learned to learn more and the ignorant to learn.
