of going deep on tolkien

2025, the year of Tolkien, started with a bang. 6 extended edition movies week 1-2. Attempted to listen to a book on tape, Children of Hurin and decided that even when a book is exceptionally well narrated, I just fall asleep. Instead, read Hobbit, started Fellowship, and watched The War of the Rohirrim. I enjoyed the movie but apparently many others did not. Back to my lovely new 70th ed copy of Fellowship!

I am reading the Fellowwhip of the Ring too for the very first time. Being a fantasy fan and never reading it before seemed like blasphemy, now I finally understand why it had such a huge impact on culture. It's really special.
