[Reading] There and FINALLY Back Again.

So when did I finally get around to reading Lord of the Rings?

*checks past LJ posts*

Yeesh. Freakin' JULY. FOUR months!! Granted, I did distract myself with other shorter books every now and again, just to break up the tedium, but still...haven't taken that long to read a book in quite some time...

Last night I got nearer to the last chapter of the book, when Gandalf finally took off to visit Tom Bombadil and leave the four Hobbits to make their way back to the Shire. So it looks like I have a few more scenes to go (plus the Appendices, which I will read because I'm a worldbuilding nerd like that). So yeah...should be done some time in the next few weeks, looks like. :p

I'm thinking a few short novels might be on tap after this until I feel the need for another big honkin' book. ;)
