i would have said the style was more academic than literary - except most if not all academic papers i've encountered feel like a natural, cohesive whole, despite having their own distinct register and vocabulary. there was a very amateur-ish quality to the structure of the individual sentences and the narrative as a whole - the sort that can be found in some fanfiction (and then i've read fan fiction that does not feel this way). I was sorely disappointed when i read the english original of LOTR. Last week of September: discussion of The Return of the King book/film.ĭecember: discussion of The Hobbit book/film. Last week of June: discussion of The Two Towers book/film. Last week of March: discussion of The Fellowship of the Ring book/film. Since I'm running it, I'm going to put up a schedule because I don't have the time to blast through everything in a few weeks. I'm going to read each book and then watch the DVD of the film (extended version of course). Even if it's only me, I'll enjoy the journey. Read along, contribute, or ignore this thread if you wish.

So I'm going to be leading discussion over the months leading up to the release of the movie on the LOTR and The Hobbit. So then I thought, why not take advantage of the next 11 months? It's been a long time since I watched the trilogy, and even longer since I read any Tolkien. I thought about starting a thread on the Hobbit when I saw the trailer, but we got months to go. This forum didn't exist back then, so I/we missed out on major geeking out for the movies. I really enjoyed his adaptations of The Lord of the Rings, so I'm excited for these two movies. In December of this year Peter Jackson will be releasing part one of his adaptation of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I meant to make this thread at the beginning of the year, but I got lazy.
