I very much doubt we'll require much in the way of formal rules, but just for the sake of formality and clarity:
Chapter V: Riddles in the Dark
Chapter VI: Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire
Rules
I very much doubt we'll require much in the way of formal rules, but just for the sake of formality and clarity:
- Discussion is welcome and encouraged, as is disagreement. Name-calling and personal attacks will be punished by purchasing $10,000 worth of shares in Mordor Inc. in your name.
- There is no spoiler policy in place. Although we're reading the Hobbit, please feel free to bring in things from other Tolkien works, any of the films, the History of Middle Earth, the Letters of JRR Tolkien, and, if you should like, other literary sources.
- There is no such thing as too much geekery. Or taking the text too seriously.
- If you have any concerns at any point, I'm the closest thing this gong show has to a mod, so feel free to get in touch. I can be reached either by PM through this site, or directly by email at sigridhr.lokidottir@gmail.com.

Well, did anyone other than Gollum bear the Ring for as long, though? I wonder what would have become of Isildur if he'd held on to it as long. I've always wondered about Gollum's aging – after Bilbo gives up the ring he ages rapidly, but Gollum lives a good, what, eighty or so years on? How come he didn't die of old age – or was something about the RIng's continued existence continuing to prolong his life even after he gave it up?
WOOOT. I hope you do.
