Is the format going to be more like the CbC thread, where there is a thread a chapter, thread a week? Or will it be more informal and be one thread where everyone comes in and posts kind of at their own pace?
I know the latter is rather disorganized, and cluttered, but it might accomodate better for various reading paces. I would certainly love to do a re-read, and I had no clue that the CbC ended 2 years ago, boy does time fly ![]()

Boromir, as I wrote in the first post of this thread, we are using the already existing CbC threads on the CbC sub-forum. More about the details of the new discussion there and in my following posts on this thread.

Boromir, I apologize, but I couldn't resist: do you remember what was in the signature you had before?

I posted on Chapter 5 today and will be taking a break from LotR for a week or two to give myself time for other projects. Anyone who wishes to may proceed; I will continue in due time.

Hi All,
It's good to see a re-run of the readthrough up and running. I didn't have the time available to contribute much last time round but circumstances have led me to re-read and I was just thinking of going back to post on the first readthrough when I noticed this thread. (he says not entirely comprehensibly!) I noticed on starting my re-read that a number of oddments and obscure references start making more sense after a few years Barrow-Downing, so I plan to try some 'oddment highlighting' whenever I spot them. All the best

The recent forum server difficulties and my busy schedule have combined to delay my posts to the LotR CbC threads. For those who are eagerly awaiting, I apologize - I will do my best to post once this week (Chapter 11); further updates from me will have to wait until after the Easter holiday weekend. Thanks to Legate for his contribution to the thread which I skipped in my confusion! As always, anyone is welcome to post on the next threads without waiting for me.

As I am very busy with preparations for an upcoming Tolkien event, I have asked Legate to help out by posting introductions to the LotR CbC discussions. I do hope you will all join in so that he isn't left alone - thanks! I'll be active again in a few weeks.
