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.

And I can't promise I will ever get round to starting this up again but it would be fun...

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

Re: The Hobbit: A Chapter by Chapter readthrough, Chapter One: An Unexpected Party
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...
