Reading LotR aloud: Book 2, Chapter 1

Here is my (late) contribution to this session of Book 2, Chapter 1: Many Meetings. The text is below the cut if you want to read along. My apologies to Elladen and Elrohir if I have mangled their names! :-)

It's lovely to hear this out loud, and you did wonderfully. I happened to read this passage recently, since I needed to do "feast" research for a chapter I'm posting tomorrow.

I would love to meet folk with clear, grey, star-filled eyes.

This makes me so regret that Glorfindel wasn't in the movie. I just love all the descriptions in this part, and this has always seemed a bit of foreshadowing to me: So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen. One day that will change!

There is something very touching about Frodo sitting on a chair with several cushions and too busy eating to notice his neighbors. :)) And aww, for Sam being guest of honor.

Beautiful job, Elycia! Thank you so much.

I really enjoyed that, Elycia. Somehow, for me, hearing the descriptions of these characters gives a bit more life to them than just reading did.
