Imaginary Conversations and Random Thoughts

If you're a fan of Tolkien and The Lord Of The Rings, there is a site you should be checking every day. Gary, the self-proclaimed Tolkien Geek, is engaged in his annual fall reading of LOTR, and blogging after each chapter the highlights, key points, and connections with other chapters and books of LOTR, as well as other Tolkien works and the Peter Jackson films. Drag out your old copy and read along; post a comment or question. Relive the experience with others as this Tolkien scholar takes us through, chapter by chapter, the mysteries and revelations available even to those who have read the books several times. We're only up to Chapter 8 now, so you don't have very far to go to catch up. You should also consider going back to some of the beginning posts, where definitions, FAQ's, and Gary's motivations for doing this project make up pretty interesting reading in their own right. Tolkien Geek is here. You go read now!
