Two Towers (Book IV) read-through starts 3 January 2016: schedule, and appeal for the three chapter leaders still needed	Can't Post

Our read-through of Book IV starts on 3 January 2016. This is the schedule and batting order so far:

week starts # Chapter # Chapter name # leader
03-Jan-16 # I # The Taming of Smeagol # noWizardme
10-Jan-16 # II # The Passage of the Marshes # Oliphaunt
17-Jan-16 # III # The Black Gate Is Closed # Al Carondas
24-Jan-16 # IV # Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit # Hamfast Gamgee
31-Jan-16 # V # The Window on the West # MirielCelebel
07-Feb-16 # VI # The Forbidden Pool #
14-Feb-16 # VII # Journey to the Cross-roads # Mironiel
21-Feb-16 # VIII # The Stairs of Cirith Ungol # squire
28-Feb-16 # IX # Shelob's Lair #
06-Mar-16 # X # The Choices of Master Samwise #
(Easter 2016 is March 27)

As you see there are some chapters still to be taken - please do volunteer if you would like to have a go!

If you are wondering what leading a chapter involves, I recently wrote an unofficial guide - http://newboards.theonering.net/...i?post=884122#884122

That post is part of an older thread discussing the organization of the Book IV read-through. I decided to replace that old thread with this new one: the old thread contains a lot of material that is now moot (such as discussion of an alternative schedule).

So we have just The Forbidden Pool left to place.
