Well, if anything like the first chapter a year of study is warranted.

Hmm...any takers? Just under Two years counts as soon(ish) right...?

Though I still think a scene by scene rant though of the film trilogy would be just as much fun...

I can't promise that I'll have any commentary to add (having as much as I did during the original go around is especially questionable ) but I would like to see this happen and might be able to pop in.

Re: The Hobbit: A Chapter by Chapter readthrough, Chapter One: An Unexpected Party
I'd almost forgotten I'd started this thread, certainly forgot how much detail I went into! This was always something I'd been meaning to continue/return to at some point, but time got away from me, not sure I really have the time or mental energy to do this again though (at least not right now) but it would be a fun project.
This was that long ago??? I may have been a tad optimistic on my definition of 'soon'
Only 20 years until The Hobbit enters public domain, maybe we'll get back to it before then...
Imagine how long a read through of LOTR would take us instead

Did you stop reading the Hobbit or just stop making detailed notes?

Re: The Hobbit: A Chapter by Chapter readthrough, Chapter One: An Unexpected Party
Looking back I think I made some notes and questions for Chapters 2/3/4 and I did finish re-reading the book (I've read it a second time since then, and the graphic novel adaptation as well) but had some stuff going on in my personal life at the time so sorta hit a brick wall in terms of motivation then depression kicked me in the arse for a while. I pushed it aside as something I'd intended to continue ...and I guess I just never got back to it.
The chromebook I was using at the time broke so any notes I had made back the are long since lost to the mists of time. But I suppose this is a project that could be ressurected fairly easily (and a read through of The Hobbit is a far less daunting prospect than LOTR), the issue is now whilst I could probably find the motivation (maybe), I'm not sure I could find the time...

Re: The Hobbit: A Chapter by Chapter readthrough, Chapter One: An Unexpected Party
Speaking of a read-through of LotR, I do have the um erm study guide erm what is it called... *checks shelf* Hammond and Scull's A Reader's Companion that I have yet to crack, and a read-through would be a good excuse.
There are some... 62 chapters in the LotR by my count. One chapter every... fortnight? would be leisurely enough for most people to keep up with, I imagine. And if it took 124 weeks. Well, what else are we going to do? Watch Rings of Power? hahahaha

Re: The Hobbit: A Chapter by Chapter readthrough, Chapter One: An Unexpected Party
I have a copy of The Readers Companion as well (the 2008 paperback edition, a revised hardback edition was published in 2014) its a very interesting and detailed book full of insightful comments and notes about LOTR (and contains some previously unpublished writings as well) and I would certainly reccomend it, with the caveat that it isn't really a book I'd read through cover to cover more than once by itself, rather it works best read in concert with LOTR a chapter at a time/used for references.
So yeah a read through of LOTR would be fun and I'd certainly try to take part, though based on my previous attempts at starting a read through of The Hobbit, it would definitely be better suited to someone else running it
