The Fellowship of the Ring - J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings #1)

4.5/5 - Delightful, light entrance into the trilogy, plot gets lost sometimes

I have read the entire LotR trilogy so many times that it could be considered embarrassing. I've also taken a course dedicated to Tolkien's works so when I say I could write essays on a topic, trust that I have already.

I really enjoy a number of aspects in this book, with the first among them being the introduction to hobbits. I've never encountered another fantasy author that's introduced the species/race of their main character in such a way and I find it so charming. Classic favorites of this installation of the trilogy include Moria and the Balrog, Galadriel in the woods of Lothlorien, and, of course, the breaking of the Fellowship.

One of the things that always strikes me about this book is the way that Frodo embodies such simple heroism. He's doing this because it happened upon him, but he's willing to put his life in danger for others. It's something that is so small and seen in almost every hero of an adventure, but knowing Frodo's fate just makes it feel so much larger.

Tom Bombadil still confuses me as a character, but taking random things in stride is essential to Tolkien. A long novel, but one well worth taking the time to read even once, if only because knowing the depth in the books makes watching the films that much more enjoyable.

My one con, as always, with Tolkien is that there are hardly any women, but the ones that are present are interesting conceptually. They don't get a lot of screentime though.

This commercial just aired on Gameshow Network in the US. I am Livid. They’re acting as though all of Israel has been reduced to rubble. Like they’re just poor innocent victims that were viciously attacked for no reason at all and they have no way to defend themselves. I never expected to see this kind of blatant propaganda right on tv like this. Sure these charities always manipulate the facts, but this is next level.

Sometimes I consider going into infectious disease.

But then I remember I’d have to do three years of IM first. 🤮

Jewish Justice

Back in 1840 a little jewish girl around 9 years old Anne Frank was trying to survive with her family in a office building because she was jewish and she didn't want to die in her country. She was 15 years old when she and family was transfered to a jewish camp and then murdered along with family and other heros/heroic family's in that camp. More is to be done to help the Jewish communities live a safe and productive life it seems in all parts of the world. Netherlands is no exception. Statue of liberty stands for people to have freedom. Rest in peace Anne Frank and the Jewish community who parished. There are possibly still areas where Jewish families are trying to flee from war to prevent themselves from being tortured or murdered.. America does care about all people no matter the color of yheir skin... prayers for their safety

Do you think Pippin ever realised what they've done and why they bow to no one?

Lord of the Rings

Okay listen, when Fellowship came out, I MIGHT have read Hobbit at some point, and I'd seen the Ralph Bakshi Hobbit, but I'd never read LOTR and I knew N.O.T.H.I.N.G. about it. I went in completely blind. And I was TRANSFIXED. To this day, that opening gives me chills and takes me right back to how I felt in the theater ("The world has changed..."). I saw all three films in the theater 3-4 times each, which was and is still my record. I have minor quibbles, but overall I think they're gorgeous and I'm so glad they exist!

I've since read the trilogy and while they're still not my literary cup of tea, I appreciate them more and am now enjoying the return to Middle Earth in The Rings of Power. I didn't bother with the Hobbit movies because Peter Jackson is the type of director who needs limits in order to produce good films (sorry but his King Kong SUCKED), and I was still mourning what we could have had if Guillermo del Toro had stayed on.

Anyway, love them and I'm definitely due for a rewatch soon!
