It’s fun re-reading the trilogy after watching the movies so many times. I like noticing the differences. First one is that there’s a huge gap between Bilbo’s farewell party and Frodo’s departure. Frodo turns 50 when he finally leaves - that’s 17 years later! And it’s a meticulously planned process, not as rushed as it is in the movie.
