HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Of course I never forget Tolkien Reading Day/ Gondorian New Year and i come here to wish everyone a happy new year. :D
I found this clip on Youtube of Stephen Colbert sharing his favorite chapters and why we should reread them:
It's the six chapters that Jackson cut in the films and it does include one of my favorites "A Conspiracy Unmasked"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RBJRkjsBSU
Watch the clip today to hear him explain why it's his fave.
And this is my little tribute to Tolkien Reading Day - a quote from Merry that I love:
"It all depends on what you want. You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin- to the bitter end. And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours-closer than you keep it yourself. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We are your friends, Frodo. Anyway: there it is. We know most of what Gandalf has told you. We know a good deal about the Ring. We are horribly afraid-but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds."
<3 <3 <3
and
for the occasion, best part of HOME:
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad, Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.."
~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series
