How have you read it? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Feel free to stone me, anybody, but I really had (and still have, I guess) to push myself to finish everything concerning Frodo, Sam, and Gollum. Sure, there was an ecstatic little push over the arrival of Faramir, but I felt it considerably slow down again when he was gone.

Also, the parts after the second "breaking" of the Fellowship are too hard to read for me. Aside from them being too melancholic, I have to admit that hobbits never really captivated me much.

Whenever I pick up the book randomly (without having any intention to actually sit down and read), I find myself going to any Eowyn chapter, or the earlier chapters of both Book Five and Six. Sometimes I go with Gimli, Legolas, and Aragorn to meet up unexpectedly with Gandalf, then accompany them to Meduseld and quietly leave them as they prepare for Helm's Deep.
