Gorbin, if you'd like, you can put your comments so far on what you've read here.
For those who don't know, Gorbin is reading the LOTR books for the first time.

EDIT: Thanks for Making this also
I really like the book so far, I am on the chapter with Tom Bomba- whatever his name is.
I can't get over the question... are the Black Riders the Ringwraiths?[/color]

Tom 'Bombadil' and the fair lady Goldberry.
Are you in the Old Forest, or at his House?
And I won't answer that question for you. It's more suspenseful if you're unspoiled.

At his house...
And I accidentally, really accidental, read parts of the Kazadum chapter, but that was because the ******* that read the book before me put his library card in that chapter and I read parts of it before I noticed that I wasn't that far in the book[/color]

You mean you're listening to it or something?
LOL.
The Moria chapters are the best two chapters in the series, IMO.
I'm not a big fan of the Tom Bombadil episode. It seems very unnecessary, except for a tiny, teeny bit at the end.

Don't turn this into a social thread, please. 
It's not a code. I just put it in there.
Next time please PM me.

Oh, well, it really picks up pace at Chapter Nine.
Chapter Eight is... odd.... you might want to get into it.

It speeds up around here though there's a very long talking chapter right after this one, but it's pretty interesting...
