I'm actually up to Sam and Frodo in Mordor, but I want to bring up the Houses of Healing. Such a great chapter. We've got this super-serious situation, Eowyn, Faramir, and Merry might be dying, and Tolkien throws in this series of comic scenes where these well-meaning idiots won't just go and get Aragorn the plant he needs. It provides just the light touch the scene needs to balance the drama

Is it just me or does no hobbit ever stay awake when they're on watch

Gandalf actually compliments Pippin. It was then that it was certain that the world was ending.

the appendices start at 59%, so I'm really closer to 80% done

I've read this 10-12 times (not sure, I lost count a few years back), and the Ride of the Rohirrim still chokes me up
