We've made it to the Lonely Mountain. One thing I wonder is why they stay so long at the places they've stopped: when they got to Elrond's, Beorn's, and the lake town, they stopped for like two weeks each. Seems like a very casual approach to such an important mission. Also, apparently in the Age of Magic, "riddle" pretty much meant any obscure reference that the listener would never guess unless he already knew.

Mirkwood, spiders. Haven't made much progress on this because I wanted to burn through "The Martian". Will get back to it soon.

Got through the Misty Mountains, met the eagles, now telling Beorn a story. More convinced than ever that Peter Jackson was trying to rip us off by stretching this out into three movies.
