DNF

Listening to the audiobook narrated by Lola Tung. Through her storytelling is the only proper way to enjoy this book

I don't know why I'm still reading this book. I suppose it's only morbid curiosity.

"But I cannot tell that to this old sinner, and I cannot comfort him either; he has made himself unable to hear my voice."

"Plenty of humans were monstrous, and plenty of monsters knew how to play human."

I finished the the book, now on to The Appendices.

Me: I love you Faramir! Don't go!

"Let us remember that a traitor may betray himself and do good that he does not intend. It can be so, sometimes." - Gandalf

Gollum is so underrated, Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Gollum

Po - ta - toes

Among the tales of sorrow and of ruin that come down to us from the darkness of those days there are yet some in which amid weeping there is joy and under the shadow of death light that endures. And of these histories most fair still in the ears of the Elves is the tale of Beren & Luthien.

"You're human and human beings make mistakes and act in all kinds of ways we shouldn't."

I'm savoring the last drops of summer with this book

'It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish.'
