Well, peeps, I finally did it.  I can now say that I have read  The Lord of the Rings trilogy!  *confetti and general fanfare* (With the exception, of course, of the appendices in TROTK.  But I do plan to read those.  Soon.) How does it feel to have finished it?  How do you take up the threads of an old life?;)  More importantly, how do you even begin to blog about it?  The simple answer is, I don't know, to all questions.  Since it's still sinking in that I've actually finished what seemed to be such a huge undertaking, I'm what you might call shell-shocked.  Joyfully shell-shocked, but nonetheless. So, what was my final opinion? ;D Seriously though, did I learn a heck of a lot more about Middle-earth?  Of course. Did opinions on certain characters change?  A little.  Were old loves strengthened?  Ooh, boy oh boy, just you wait;)  Did I like certain characters less  in the trilogy?  Unfortunately…yes.   For this post, rather than try to review
