  • Chapter 6: Why the Worst Chapter of LOTR is Actually the Best Written
    Jun 30 2025
    I have never hated a chapter more in any of Tolkien’s work than The Old Forest, but I have to admit, I think it’s actually his best written chapter (so far).

  • Chapter 4 - Farmer Maggot is INCREDIBLE
    Jun 28 2025
    If you’ve seen Lord of the Rings, you know this man. Farmer Maggot. The one and the only. And I am astounded that the Hobbits actually eat in the home of Farmer Maggot.

    Jun 27 2025
    So, I am reading through Lord of the Rings for the first time and publishing my thoughts on the chapters as I read them. But I just finished chapter three and I have to say: Gildor makes me like elves.

  • Chapter 2 - Gollum is Complex
    Jun 26 2025
    I am reading through Lord of the Rings for the first time, and I’m in chapter two. And I have to say, out of everything I have seen so far in this book, one of the things that surprised me the most was the sadness, hopeless, possessed story of Gollum.

  • Chapter 1 - The Invisibility and Loneliness of Bilbo Baggins
    Jun 25 2025
    I am reading Lord of the Rings for the first time and something struck me as sad and depressing in the first chapter. It seems like it’s more subtext than it is anything else, but the invisibility and loneliness of Bilbo Baggins is terribly sad.

    • They turned and ran. At that moment some dozen Orcs that had lain motionless among the slain leaped to their feet, and came silently and swiftly behind. Two flung themselves to the ground at Eomer’s ´ heels, tripped him, and in a moment they were on top of him. But a small dark figure that none had observed sprang out of the shadows and gave a hoarse shout: Baruk Khazaˆd! Khazaˆd ai-meˆnu! An axe swung and swept back. Two Orcs fell headless. The rest fled. Eomer ´ struggled to his feet, even as Aragorn ran back to his aid.

    Q3 - What do you think of the whole battle?

    Q4 - What do you think about Aragorn poking his head out and treating with the Orcs?

    • There suddenly upon a ridge appeared a rider, clad in white, shining in the rising sun. Over the low hills the horns were sounding. Behind him, hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands. Amid them strode a man tall and strong. His shield was red. As he came to the valley’s brink, he set to his lips a great black horn and blew a ringing blast.

    Q4 - Thoughts on Erkenbrand

    Q5 - Thoughts on the changes of this chapter from book to movie?

    Chapter 8 -The Road to Isenguard

    Q1 - What do you think of the hillmen and men of Dunland?

    • In the midst of the field before the Hornburg two mounds were raised, and beneath them were laid all the Riders of the Mark who fell in the defence, those of the East Dales upon one side, and those of Westfold upon the other. But the men of Dunland were set apart in a mound below the Dike. In a grave alone under the shadow of the Hornburg lay Ha´ma, captain of the King’s guard. He fell before the Gate.

    Q2 - What do you think of Hama dying?

    Q3 - Has the forest moved?

    • A mist gathered about them. Above them a few stars still glimmered faintly; but on either side there arose walls of impenetrable gloom; they were in a narrow lane between moving towers of shadow. Voices they heard, whisperings and groanings and an endless rustling sigh; the earth shook under them. Long it seemed to them that they sat and were afraid; but at last the darkness and the rumour passed, and vanished between the mountain’s arms.

    Q4 - Are these Ents?

    Q5 - What do you think or Orthanc?
