Behind him the pick up lifted a powdery plume from the road and the suspended dust shone like bright flecks of gold in the sun.

My audiobook minutes are out!! Unsure if I’ll be able to finish by the end of the year ughhhh!!! The Faramir plot point is WAY better in the book and he’s my favorite character in the series so far I think, I really liked this!! I don’t however like that we never see or hear much of the enemy’s thought process or pov, they’re a blind unrelenting force which is a bit bland. Anyways good time see u soon…

Gandalf and company’s section has finished! I really like all the deep lore but stuff like helms deep is way less cool in the book. Tolkien is good at writing large sweeping stuff and imo has a hard time writing about small happenings in an interesting way. Time for Frodo and Sam…

Into a more applied science part. Good book but I have qualms. Will relay soon…

Much happier than the movie! I love how much time they spend telling stories and telling others about stuff that has happened in the book already. STILL no Sam and Frodo yet…

Merry and Pip hanging with treebeard will be forever awesome, you go boys!

Really interesting thoughts here on living a passive life vs an active life, letting the river carry you or choosing to paddle upstream. I’d say at the moment I leave a passive life of appreciation, and this is through a conscious attempt I’ve made.

Life becomes unreal when one has no vision of their future, sees their life already finished in front of them, something I’ve been guilty of certainly.

Pretty rough reading. Jack took lots of notes, it’s so fun reading his copy I feel like we’re talking about the book

I need a good bee or three to think this thrilling piece of work over.

I’ve been thinking about reading it all day! How excited I am to read, like a school boy.

“It was closed, but the salesman said he would wait if we heard, but we were delayed in route when a stingray in front of us killed a pedestrian on Sunset Boulevard“

So funny already this is so good

Similar to Edward Abbey if he wasn’t a stuck up prick and just a normal guy

Enjoying already, funny and makes me think of my own experiences.

“Given the choice, the fly-fisher with any breeding whatsoever always chooses the spotted streamlined fish living in the colder water. Bass and the attendant panfish are amusing enough, but like triple X-rated movies in cheap wine, they are not something a gentleman spends a lot of time and energy on”

It calculated my percentage wrong I’m nearly done and this book is so awesome
