Am already reading as mentioned on FB. Though I suspect you'll be ahead of me soon enough as I only get in about 40-60 minutes of reading a day. I enjoy just enjoying the language now that I've read it so often though I find I get so into the story anyway that I am always anxious to move forward and get it all sorted out.

I left them this morning at Weathertop. Didn't get a chance to read on the train this afternoon as was with Ronald and my friend, we'd been sushing and Ronald was apparently shopping for a birthday present.

I am still in the middle of The Worm Ouroboros, which is in fact the greatest book ever. Tolkien was just copying it.

A moment ago you were leaving Rivendell! Are you reading the words properly?
I always try to enjoy the words now I know the story so well but somwhere along the way I get so caught up in the story and forget to pay attention to the lovely prose!

How can reading LOTR be more important than posting here? Maybe this explains last month's embarrassing debacle.

I can't think of anywhere better to walk to ... but you could do with a more reliable guidebook ...

I'm currently at Helm's Deep. Dawn has just arrived.

I don't remember Dawn, which character was she?

She's the annoying brat portrayed by Michelle Trachtenburg!

Which episode featured her going to Helm's Deep? I thought I'd seen them all.

You probably just blacked out from over-exposure to her!

So, who would win in a fight between the Witch-King of Angmar and Angelus?

Post by raspberrybullets on Jul 16, 2013 20:30:16 GMT
Witch King.

That King.

What about Arwen and Buffy?
|
|
|
Post by raspberrybullets on Jul 16, 2013 20:38:35 GMT
I have no idea if Arwen has any sort of fighting skills. Orcs got her mother and I think Buffy would have no problem with an orc so I think Buffy would win.

An uruk-hai vs an uber-vamp?
|
|
|
Post by raspberrybullets on Jul 16, 2013 20:46:43 GMT
They're both stupid but maybe the vamps win out since they have more ways to kill the uruk hai.
