Well folks, it's time for my biennial attempt to read these loving books, so here goes! I've made it through The Hobbit, which I love, but now I'm about to start LOTR so wish me luck. Once I even made it to The Two Towers! On the subject of Tom Bombadil, I love that guy. His chapters are kind of dumb but I love the idea of a character so mysterious and powerful that even Gandalf and Elrond don't know what the gently caress. On the other hand I kind of hate all the rabid speculation about him. Tolkien himself went on record saying that he just shoved Bombadil in there because he liked him and the stories he'd written about him before. He's not supposed to be God or whatever, he's just some magical dude in the woods.
