What's this? Why is Kairos posting a YouTube video instead of text?

So it's been 38 years since Aragorn's last visit to Lothlorien? I initially misheard that and reversed the number and my eyes bugged out a little. Even though I think 83 years would still be possible within his total age ( Read more... )

Aragorn kicks us off with the most depressing pep talk of all time, which is also incidentally one of my favorite lines. Hear me out: In most stories, the inspiration you want to receive once things appear to have reached rock bottom is that there's still hope.

The journey gets so desperate so fast. The last chapter ended with "Caradhras had defeated them," and this one begins with the Now what question which doesn't seem to have much of an answer beyond Give Up or Certain Death.

One thing I like about doing this reread is how often I start thinking about the book and wanting to read more, and since I'm not allowing myself to read beyond the latest post, it motivates me to make the next post ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm gonna tackle this monster. Holy crap what a long chapter. It's nearly two full hours in the audiobook. So much backstory, so many introductions, so many items of business.
