Palantir-Green Anybody still reading?

I have been reading LotR slowly and occasionally on my own, continuing from what I started here, and I'm currently in the chapter Treebeard. (Wonderful progress, don't you think? )

My question is, is there anybody out there who would like to continue reading from where we left (A Conspiracy Unmasked is the last chapter that has been talked about) or even start from the beginning (since we only got this far) and maybe post a post or two about the previous chapters and then continue with me from the Old Forest onwards?

I would like to continue the discussion here.

I just want to add something to the discussion in general, not just this particular topic.
I think that is anythink in Tolkien's books seems insignificant to you - think again. Every single line in his works has its purpose and weight, even if you don't notice it right away. The first time I read LotR, I thought about how useless the first chapter is. After understanding it better, I realized that that chapter in really one of the most significant things in the book, because it highlights the change in Frodo, Sam, Pippin, and Merry in the end of the book. Every sentence, even the punctuation, has its purpose, useless as it seems.

I personally would LOVE it if we could go back and start over again. When the very first chapter-by-chapter was done (and the re-run that followed) in the subforums, I did not have my own computer, so it was very difficult to follow along with the discussions and participate. I've been dying to really join in on a chapter-by-chapter reread but there doesn't really seem to be any going on lately.
