I am really getting into The Fellowship of the Ring, finally. I'm actually having a very hard time putting the book down! I'm glad. I was worried that this whole reading experience would be a lot of work for me rather than enjoyment!
Of course, it's very odd that Frodo is starting out on a journey with no known destination or even a true purpose beyond the fact that he can't let the Evil One find him or the Ring. He knows he has to destroy the Ring, but has no idea whatsoever how to go about doing that. Even Gandalf is at a loss as to how they need to destroy the Ring.
I know this is all going to come together and that it is actually making me want to read to find out the answers to the REAL questions. I'm liking it a lot better than I thought I would.
I really want to see the movie version, too. I'm trying to wait until I finish reading the book before I watch the movie. I don't want to ruin any surprises that are in store for me, but at the same time, I know the movies are very well done and will help me see the story a little more effectively. I feel that I'm doing a decent job seeing the story, but I still really want to see the movies!
Here's hoping the book just gets better and better!!!! Just so you know, I'm only at the part where Frodo, Sam, and Pippin have left Bags End......so don't ruin it for me if you reply!
I've always been a LOTR fan since I first started reading the books in middle school. didn't learn about the films until probably a year or so after ROTK was released, though.
