Kate's come up with a semi-ambitious plan for the summer: She's going to re-read The Lord of the Rings (for the first time since the movies came out), and post chapter-by-chapter thoughts on her LiveJournal. At the moment, she's only gotten through the introductory material and one critical essay, but there's already some interesting discussion in comments.
I've got a little too much on my plate to read along with her (also, she reads a whole lot faster than I do), but if you think this might be interesting, there's a handy index page where updates will be posted as they appear.
