The Lord of the Rings (All of It!)

[hollyking]

That's my reading goal for 2010. To read all of the Lord of the Rings “trilogy”. That's a lot of pages in there. I wonder...

Book	Pages	Read	Left	% Complete
Totals	7,875	156	7,824	1.98%
The Hobbit	276	156	120	56.52%
The Lord of the Rings	1,157	–	1,157	0.00%
The Silmarillion	365	–	365	0.00%
The Book of Lost Tales Part One	297	–	297	0.00%
The Book of Lost Tales Part Two	385	–	385	0.00%
The Lays of Belleriand	393	–	393	0.00%
The Shaping of Middle Earth	380	–	380	0.00%
The Lost Road and Other Writings	455	–	455	0.00%
The Return of the Shadow	497	–	497	0.00%
The War of the Ring	476	–	476	0.00%
The Treason of Isengard	504	–	504	0.00%
Sauron Defeated	482	–	482	0.00%
Morgoth’s Ring	471	–	471	0.00%
The War of the Jewels	470	–	470	0.00%
The Peoples of Middle-Earth	482	–	482	0.00%
The Children of Hùrin	313	–	313	0.00%
Unfinished Tales of Nùmenor and Middle-Earth	472	–	472	0.00%

That’s a grand total of 7,875 pages. To finish it during the year I'll have to average 22 pages per day. It will be a bit of a stretch but a goal I don't mind reaching to achieve. Now I just have to come up with some spiffy graphic to chart my progress.

I know a lot of people who don’t enjoy LotR, hollyqueen for example, but I still feel the same thrill I reading the books as I did when I swiped Charlie’s copies and read them under the sheets after I should have been asleep.

Oh that is funny. We'll see if I can stay awake. :)
