Title says it all! I’ll go first.

I’m doing my first re-read of LOTR since I first read it when I was in middle school ~15 yr ago. Just finished up Fellowship the other day and started Two Towers yesterday. It’s really fun to revisit it with an adult brain 😛 Up next after RotK will be Katherine Addison’s sequel to The Goblin Emperor, The Witness for the Dead

    I haven’t had much time to read for leisure lately, but Marx is high up on my reading list. And while not technically books, I am reading a lot of papers and scholarly articles for my environmental science major.

    The Coldfire Trilogy! I’m not sure if I like it so far. It hasn’t really grabbed me, but I’m giving it a chance to see if it does.

    Re-reading an audiobook of Dune with wifey in anticipation of the movie this october.

    Also reading the count of monte cristo, its a really damn good revenge story.

    I usually reread the silmarillion, but I might try to reread LOTR, same as you, I read in middle school and havent done since, but I remember really enjoying them.

    I just started reading: “The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet” by Becky Chambers. Not sure if good or not yet.

    Edit: about 1/3 into it now, seems like a fun story, but nothing that will blow your mind or such.
