Starting something you couldn't finishFinnbar says: I used to know a guy who tattooed LOVE across his left knuckles, but didn't tattoo HATE on the other knuckles because he was right-handed and realised he couldn't finish. Ever run out of skills or inspiration halfway through a job?

The trick is not to worry about reading all of it.I only got through by skimming long sections, or even just flicking through pages until I hit an interesting-looking word. I don't think I read any of the songs past the first one, and mostly got to read about exciting battles and silly hobbits. If it didn't make sense, I skipped back a page for some basic context.
The book I probably read least of was The Two Towers. Yes, I get it, they're walking! And it's a really long way! For God's sake, they even start talking about the fact that they've been walking for much longer than should have been necessary, and at that point I skipped forward a couple of chapters.
The appendix on Ents was quite interesting.
