What J.R.R. Tolkien book would you like to read in March 2012?
I've allowed a little lead in time so that members can make room in their reading schedules - some of these books are BIG!

The Children of Hurin
Tree and Leaf (only one I've not read so I'm being selfish)
Unfinished Tales

We're supposed to do a LOTR buddy read in one of my other groups in February, so if The Fellowship of the Rings wins, that is completely fine by me. But I've always wanted to read The Silmarillion and maybe reading it together will get me going.

Hi, Reina - I think that reading ALL of the nominated books in one month may be a bit ambitious for the Group as a whole ;-)
If you want to plan in a Tolkien reading schedule for 2012, you might want to join the Group Challenge.

I also tried to invite a few friends to join the group. Maybe they will also be interested in joining.

I've read the Silmarillion but it's been a while and would love to read it again. I've never heard of Tree and Leaf, but will definitely be on the search for it soon!
I almost didn't vote because it doesn't matter which, as I have copies of all of these. However I don't have much time right now and the story I'm most familiar with already is The Hobbit - AND it would be nice to reread it before the movies are finished. That said, the one I haven't read of all these is Children Of Hurin. So maybe I should have voted for it. Decisions decisions. No matter whether I have time to read whatever is chosen by the group, I'll be thrilled to follow the discussions. :)Thanks, Michael, for stepping up and resuscitating this group.

I had similar decisions to make on the poll - I've read the Silmarillion, but not Children of Húrin, but I voted for the Silmarillion as it's been quite a while and I think it will be good to refresh that before I read Children.
