Okay, so I’m starting to freak out just a little bit. The world premiere of The Return of the King has happened, and it won’t be long now before the movie comes out around here. As such, it’s time for my annual re-reading of The Lord of the Rings, a tradition that began in the summer of 2000, when Amy and I read the book aloud together. (Prior to that I think I’d read the book four times–once in elementary school, once in middle school, once in high school, once in college–give or take one reading; it’s just such a part of me I kinda forgot.)
This time around, however, I’ll be blogging my response to whatever I read during the course of a particular day. Nothing elaborate, I don’t think; certainly nothing approaching the effort that went into the October horror-blogging marathon. Just my observations and emotions about passages that strike my fancy.
Would it be too cheesy to say I hope it’s a journey worth taking? Maybe. But I do. First installment coming soon!
