CbC Reloaded - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Though I too am looking forward to the Hobbit re-discussion, I have two reasons for taking on UT first.

1. There is a long-standing request for a UT discussion, and we haven't gone through this book chapter-by-chapter so far.

2. I would like to have the Hobbit CbC closer to the movie release next year, so that we book fans are well-prepared for comparitive discussions when it comes out.

To those who are waiting for the Hobbit reread, please be patient! We will definitely do it, probably beginning in the spring of 2012.

To those who decide to join me in (re-)reading the Unfinished Tales, I look forward to re-discovering them with you!

*cross-posted with TM, who already explained my reasons more succinctly!
