For those anxiously awaiting the next thread of the Hobbit discussion: I'm currently away from home and my bookshelf. There will be a delay of approximately three days, then the next chapter will be up. Thanks for your patience!

The summer slump has hit our Hobbit discussions - I'm going to space them a bit so as to give latecomers a chance to catch up and join in. For the next month or two, new threads will be posted every fortnight. (Chapter 8 will begin next week.) See you there!

Sorry, folks - real life temporarily took on an insane tempo and I had to delay the next chapter of discussion. I will post the new thread within a day or two, then there will probably be another delay while I am in England for Britmoot and Return of the Ring. To be continued...

The announced break during my absence to Britmoot and RotR is over - the next chapter discussion thread is up! Are you still with me?

The break during the past weeks was due to another absence - my last for this year. The discussions are now resumed at the rate of one chapter a week so that we finish by the time the movie is released.
If you haven't joined the reading and discussion yet, I welcome you to do so and catch up gradually!

So, we managed to finish the Hobbit discussions before the Wellington premiere! Those of you who still want to read the book before seeing the movie are welcome to post to the threads as you proceed. Thanks to those who posted so far!
For more online discussion, I recommend "75 reasons why you should read "The Hobbit" before watching the films" on The Tolkienist's website. Some wonderful insights are shared by leading international experts such as Tom Shippey, Verlyn Flieger, and Brian Sibley, to name a few.

After a far too long absence from this forum, Legate of Amon Lanc and I have decided to make our comeback to book discussions on this very fitting day - we will today start reading The Lord of the Rings and will be posting anything interesting that we come up with on these Chapter-by-Chapter threads. If there's anyone out there who is rereading at the moment or would like to start now, you're more than welcome to join this very unofficial project and post on the threads as you go - we will join you. Hope to see you guys around.
