I love you Myq, and I love your grandma Iris, too!
I'm glad she found something's worth reading in LotR and I just finished rereading it. I think it's so long because it was a neverending bedtime story he used to tell his kids, who always wanted more!
At any rate, we're it not so long, we would not all love Boromir, not would we feel the frustration of Aragon (Strider) or the despair of Gollim or 5e truths of Samwise Gamgees friendship
Not the joy of seeing Old friends again, like Gandalf and Beorn the bear-man being thrown into battle with the orcs... And saving the Fellowship. I think LOTR is a guidepost through life as long as you know where to look, and of course in my large family, we read it together before bed, I would read the parts of Samwise and Thorin, and sometimes even Smeagol. My sister Jennie would read Bronwyn, and my mom would do the voice of any orc, troll, the sounds of the balrog snarling and whipping, and of course Smaug, my father would play as all the other voices, but his "Flu, you fools!" Always hit harder than Ian McKellen did... And made me weep as Gandalf fell into the pit... As a child I loved those books, and when the movies came out I was thrilled! They were good!
