Right around halfway through Book One, and at a brilliant stopping spot after the main body of the Shire and before the Old Forest section! Delightful time again so far, and definitely loving the Andy Serkis narration as much as I did for The Hobbit earlier this year. Ought to finish Book One tomorrow if all goes well 😁

Just re-read the front-matter today (Foreword and Prologue), and they're definitely a big more investing and interesting (basically respectively) when you've already read the books (plus The Silmarillion) before. Still not sure the Prologue is necessary for first-timers as long as they've read the Hobbit, but that's probably still just me lol
Shall continue on proper tomorrow! A volume per week will be quite a pace!
