It's a long and complex book. Even the recent read of The Hobbit had declining participation, although there were a lot of followers. Maybe your lighter approach would help, although I must point out that there are never any particular requirements laid on discussion leaders for posts per week, etc. We had also discussed looking at Unfinished Tales, particularly since some of it has relevance to The Hobbit's tale. What do you think, folks?

Maybe we felt we should follow tradition?

What, then, do you propose?
