The Sound of Middle-earth -> reading from LotR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Noone? I can't haz reading?

Well, in any case, if not earlier, then I think we could try thinking about something for the 22th September, which is Thursday, if I am not mistaken - we can try to find out if that date would work for enough people or if, in case it didn't, we should move it, say, to the weekend after that, but still keeping it in the spirit of "it's Bilbo's and Frodo's birthday".

If the time works for me, I'd love to finally have an opportunity to join in! I love reading and hearing others read aloud - and I do have Skype now, though I'm not yet very proficient at using it.

Bilbo and Frodo's birthday (or shortly thereafter) sounds like a good date to me - that would make up for not being able to go to Oxonmoot this year.

I'm up for a reading on the 22nd - evening, preferably. Does that exclude our American friends though?

Deaf in Italy time to reboot this, and Baggins Day would be a great occasion. Depending on how late we start and how long we take, the weekend after it might be better still, but I suppose I could manage on the 22nd.

That's a friend of mine's birthday, so I probably can't make it that day. I could make it in the later afternoon (MST) that weekend.

It isn't really difficult to use it. You just switch it on and accept the call

I guess the point is to organise the time so that as much people as possible can participate. Nothing also prevents us from making more than one reading in case the timetables prove to be difficult to combine. Let's stay flexible. (As for myself, I will most likely have the time anytime during that period. So I can just keep reading 24/7...)

It's the birthday of a friend of each of us, come on

It won't include this North American as I will be in South America. But I'd join in later readings after I get Skype.

The 22nd would work splendidly for me, probably better than the weekend.

The Might · 09-06-2011, 07:21 PM

I'll be there as well.
